Snowflake Tildas

Hello everyone, today I have another card that covers three challenges; Just Magnolia has a monochrome theme this week, Simon Says Stamp has a sparkly theme, and finally Creative Card Crew Challenge 34 has a theme of snowflakes.

The sentiment is from studio g and the papers and flowers are from my stash. It obviously doesn't show on here, but the paper is flocked and the snowflakes are so soft to the touch.... it broke my heart to cut the paper!!!
