While I love snowflake cards in blue, purple is my favorite non-traditional color for Christmas cards. In my book, snowflakes can be any color of the rainbow! My card is based on the sketch challenge this week at Mojo Monday. I flipped the sketch to accommodate my snowman. Here is the original sketch design-
Check back this weekend for a Valentine card based on the sketch with the upcoming Whooo’s Your Valentine kit. I did my first take on the sketch featuring a snowman to enter the snowmen challenge at The Paper Players–
My card is really simple, just a few layers with a lot of bling to jazz it up! The little details add so much to your finished designs.
When I am pressed for time, this is my go to design for the inside of my cards. A strip of shimmer tape or pattern paper across the bottom and a stamped sentiment. I love the Merry Christmas sentiment so much, that it has earned a permanent spot on my desk, at least for the holiday season!
