I used Sketch 10 (October 2012) and Colour Combination 16 (April 2013). I saw this sketch and immediately thought of Christmas baubles, but when I saw the colours I changed my mind and settled on snowflakes! I masked the edges on the base card and then stamped the text background in Bashful Blue. I used the lovely stitched circles to cut out the circles (I turned the panel through 180° before attaching it to the card base). I stamped some snowflakes in Versamark and added QKR StickyPowder which I heated and then added glitter - it works really well and the glitter doesn't shed! Next I randomly stamped small snowflakes in navy and finished with an appropriate sentiment. For the inside I cut a mat in navy and on the white panel I stamped snowflakes around the edge and finished with a bold sentiment. Below is a close up where you can see the snowflakes on the navy panel - they don't show up very well in the main picture. And you can really see the glitter snowflakes too!
I used a couple of my favourite Walztingmouse stamp sets on this card, so I'm submitting it to the Golden Oldies category over at the Waltzingmouse Pajama Party!
I'm really looking forward to seeing what combinations you come up with for this week's challenge - see you all soon.
Sorry I've not been around much this week - it seems that going on holiday is not good for my health!!! I've been feeling really poorly since coming home and last night was the first time I got to play in my craft room. Have a great weekend!

I feel like I'm looking up into the solar heavens with this great card Deborah! Love those edged circle cutouts!
Beautiful Deborah - I love the circles - so fun, and the dimension you created with your background text. A beautiful Christmas card!
I know I've said it before but the inside could be the front of the card.

I really like the effect of the snowflakes peeking through the stitched circles! The subtle tone-on-tone navy snowflakes are great, too. Great job, Deborah!
Deborah, I love the circle apertures, and the stamping on, under, and inside.

Love that tone on tone stamping and those circle apertures letting the snowflakes and text shine through.
You really know how to finish off the inside of a card don't you !!!
Cracking card Deborah, I love those wee peepholes on front and how you framed the sentiment inside!! hugs to you for playing along!! Best of luck in the challenges!!
Very nice these circles! You might think there are big snowballs :) Wonderful interpretation of the sketch!!

This is a beautiful twist on a snow-flakey card Deborah! I think I'll be catching up with some festive cards when the children go back to school next week. Sorry to hear you've been poorly since returning home from holiday - it's so often the way. Hope you feel better soon. Vicky x
