A Trio of Snowflakes



It's crunch time here in our household to get everything done before the holidays. The boys have their school concert tomorrow and have been diligently practicing... At the top of their lungs too-I enjoy hearing their versions of the classics. I realized this past weekend that both of them needed new dress shirts too-the little one has even outgrown the dress shirt the oldest wore only a while ago!


I have a trio of snowflake cards today up on the Artful Delight Blog and here, showcasing the lovely embellishments and solid cardstock from the December Card Kit. The large snowflakes were actually dissembled before making their way onto these cards. The blue one above I turned over (it was dark green on the other side) and added glue and teal glitter to match the cardstock included in the kit. A small pearl and stamped sentiment (not from the kit), along with rounded corners, finished off the card.
Next up is the light green version, this time the center is one of the many small brads from the kit.


And finally a red version. My least favorite of the three (because I don't care how my stamped sentiment turned out) but I think still provides a bold, and beautiful look.

I hope you have a chance to check out this month's Artful Delight Card Kit, and remember to play and link up to the sketch challenges this month before the 23rd!

  9. Hi Karen,

    I love all of your cards! Your "least" fave is my favorite one (LOL) but that's because red is my favorite color. Especially for Christmas (such a traditional gal!).

    Excellent work!
    Hugs!!
