Hello and welcome to my craft space.
The second Saturday of the month is always a colour challenge over at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown. This week, Tracy has chosen the colours blue, red, black and white.
After auditioning several different shades of blue, I settled on using a piece of soft sky by Stampin Up and embossed it with the Crackle 3D texture fades embossing folder by Tim Holtz, which reminded me of cracked ice…
I have had the Bold Snowflake Flurry die set by Sue Wilson, Creative Expressions, for some time, but haven’t had the right opportunity to use it, until now.
I die cut the largest snowflake 3 times and adhered them together to give some stability to the die cut. I stamped the sentiment in black ink in the centre of the top die cut and adhered it to the card using liquid glue.
Finally, I tied a bow in red and white gingham ribbon and adhered it to the snowflake using glue dots.
I hope you have been inspired to join the challenge this week – we’d love to see what you make.
Happy weekend

Nice card. Clever use of required colors. Erika
A great card and I love the blue that you settled on to use. Mind you cracked ice is something that I wouldn’t want to see if I was out walking.
Thanks for using my colour combination in such a fabulous way.
