There's a lot of Christmas in July going on right now. Have you noticed? I've already taken advantage of one Christmas themed stamp sale and obviously had Christmas on the brain when I sat down to make my card this week. Of course, that's the theme at CAS-ual Fridays right now and although the color challenge at Sunday Stamps is called a "salute to summer" it put me in mind of snowflakes! Go figure!
I took the liberty of adding some sparkly bits to my card because the color of that glimmer paper is pretty close to the neutral on that color challenge. Plus who doesn't love some sparkle on a Christmas card? The snowflake is actually one that is layered with three different die cuts. The bottom is probably my all-time favorite and it is followed up with a vellum one (that is hard to see) and a wee sparkly one on top.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you can pop on over to Freshly Made Sketches and take a look at our challenge and the design team cards. I hope we'll see you in the gallery!

Love your sketch and your snowflake Christmas card is gorgeous. Makes me feel cool, which I don't need at the moment with it being winter here, but wonderful CAS details and design.

I love the little peeks of silver glimmer paper on this beautiful card! You are always an inspiration to me to start making Christmas cards early. I think I just need you to give me a kick in the pants as well!
