As soon as I saw this sketch I knew I wanted to use this lovely snowflake arch die. The weather in Northville is so summery that I decided to make a card with non-traditional colours, these come from CAS Colours & Sketches - CASC&S#176. I made the base from Rose Red card, cut a panel of Blushing Bride design paper for the side of the card and die cut the arch from silver glimmer paper. I punched some "snowflakes" from yellow design paper, added some gems and adhered them to the card. I finished the front with a bold sentiment stamped on vellum and heat embossed with clear powder. On the inside I cut a panel of white card on which I stamped pretty snowflakes and added a greeting - simple! The theme at Addicted to Stamps and More! - ATSM#196 is Anything Goes, so I'm playing along with them.
Do visit our blog to see more inspiration cards from the rest of the team. You've got lots of time to play along, deadline is midnight (BST) Friday 10th June - that's 7.00pm EDT in the States.
The reason I've not blogged anything last week is that I had my birthday on Thursday - 56 years young! I plan on celebrating for as long a possible and today I continue with a craft class at my local shop in Northville! Enjoy your weekend! Bye for now.

Very pretty - love the glittery snowflake piece! Thanks for playing along with us at CC&S!
This is such a different take on a Christmas card - great use of the colours! Thanks for joining us at CC&S this week. Caro x
Love your pink Christmas card, so pretty. Thanks for playing at CC&S.
LOVE how you have used the colours for a Christmas card. I wouldn't have associated them with Christmas myself, but they work really well. Thanks so much for joining in at CC&S this week and lovely to see you use some Uniko too ;) Hugs Bev x
Love this interpretation of the sketch, and I'm a sucker for vellum sentiments! Great job. :)
Wow! This is so pretty. I love the sparkles and the snowflakes!
c'est si charmant Deborah, le rose et l'argent se marient a merveille dans un design très moderne, biz
The snowflake arch is gorgeous! I wouldn't have thought to use the CC&S colors for Christmas but when paired with the glitter, they give a frosty feel to your card. Awesome job combining the challenges! :)
