Let It Snow

I seem to have a bit of a monochromatic blue thing going on with my cards today:

I would like to enter my card into these challenges:

Corrosive Challenge - Winter Blues
http://corrosivechallengesbyjanet.blogspot.co.nz/2015/01/challenge-216-winter-blues.html

I have used a paper from Kaisercraft for the background.  The image is from A Day For Daisies.  I used copic markers B99, B93, E00, B05, B000, Y06.  I used blue cardstock for matting and the snowflakes - the die is from Spellbinders.  I added a pearls to the centres of the snowflakes plus a few extra dotted around.  The bow is crafted from a piece of ribbon that came from my Christmas crackers in 2013 (and I still had it in my "recycled" box!).  The sentiment is from AJ's Digital.

Happy Fathers Day

My Dad is a golfer so this will be the perfect image for him:

Clear It Out Challenge - Male + metal

For my card, I have used the image called Golfer from Kenny K coloured with copic markers.  The Happy Father's Day sentiment comes from AJ's Digital.  The background paper is from a paper pad by Authentique and the matting is blue cardstock.  I have added three silver brads that I bought about five years ago and still have sitting in my stash!
