Merry Christmas with snowflakes

Hi, I'm finally back. It's been almost 2 weeks since my previous post.  I keep thinking that I've finished making all the Christmas cards that we need.  Then I realize I've forgotten 1 or 2 people.  I *think* this is my final card for the season.  This one is going to our paper carrier with a little something inside.

I'm playing along in 2 challenges.

The Paper Players #126 - Ann's CAS challenge, featuring snowflakes



Here's my take on that challenge combo!


You know what?  I began with the intention of making this a masculine card.  Hence the blue and brown color choices.  Because our paper carrier is a guy.  Um.  I'm thinking I should have stopped myself from adding those pretty blue gems.  So pretty.  But not "manly".

Well.

I guess that's Stanley's problem now.

Cause I just can't bring myself to remove those bits of bling.  No.

Anyway, thanks for stopping by.  I appreciate all of my visitors!  Merry Christmas and Peace Be With You.





The recipe:
Card stock: marina mist, whisper white, early espresso (SU) white vellum (The Paper Studio)
Ink: early espresso (SU)
Stamps: love lives here - holiday (PTI)
DSP: festival of lights pack (SU)
Other: blue gems (The Paper Studio), damask snowflake die, snowflake medley die (PTI)
