Happy Winter!

Today I have a couple of cards to share.  The first is a winter themed card for the Creative Challenge Club sketch.

When I looked at the sketch, I thought a snowflake or star would be great in place of the flower.  So I went with Wintertime and a frosty set of colors.

I love Pool Party for winter cards, usually it's paired with another blue or silver.  Today I combined it with a color I haven't used in forever....Wisteria Wonder.  The cool colors look BEAUTIFUL together!  A little silver added in and this card is a real gem.

The base is embossed with the Northern Flurry embossing folder to add texture to the open area of cardstock.   The focal point of the card is the Wintertime stamp.  To get the two colors at one time, I used markers instead of ink pads.  The largest Apothecary framelit fit beautifully with the stamp, it just needed trimmed down a bit to fit along the side of the card.

A bit of silver was added in for contrast and sparkle.  The 1/8" silver ribbon, a few silver glimmer stars and a couple of rhinestones did the job nicely.

I hope you enjoyed today's unusual color combination!  Why don't you give the sketch a try for yourself??  You can go to the Creative Challenge Club blog for all the details plus more great card samples from the Design Team.  You can also visit the Designer's blogs for more information about their cards.
