Hello everyone! I'm the hostess at Freshly Made Sketches for our latest challenge and I made something I love! A SQUARE card! Now, of course, anyone who has played along with us before knows that you can use whatever shape you want. But square cards are so fun - because they are unusual and unexpected - that I think you should try one if you haven't before. So here is my card and the sketch:
I'm getting to the time of year when I start to panic about the number of Christmas cards I've got made, or more importantly, not made. So I take every opportunity to squeeze one in when I can. This time around the "dashing through the snow" challenge at Jingle Belles inspired this little snowflake card. Well documented here, I only like snow when it is a feature on a card. I have no use for it on the ground! But I do love my snowflake dies! I layered a couple here and paired it with some pretty washi tape. The big sentiment was embossed in silver.
Thanks for stopping by! My Freshly Made Sketches teammates have some amazing cards to share with you so be sure to check them out.
