Christmas Snowflake


 With a MB snowflake die, a piece of red glitter paper and a piece of gold mirror card, this Christmas card went together quickly! Instead of trying to put all the fiddly pieces back into the die-cut holes, I just backed it with red  and then punched a fancy little circle (SU! retired mini punch) for the center of the snowflake. The sentiment is a pre-printed one from SSS, backed with a narrow strip of the matching red glitter paper. 

I'm sharing this with the April Rudolph Days challenge which is always A/G Christmas and the entry must be made by the end of April.

Wishing you a happy Monday and a great week ahead too! Thanks for stopping by, it's always good to see you :)

It's so pretty Carol! I bet it's really WOW in person with that glitter and mirror cardstock too! Great idea to back it with the red as I wouldn't have wanted to try and piece those tiny tiny holes either! LOL!

Hi Carol! A very elegant CAS card, it's surely easier put the glittered cardstock behind the beautiful snowflake, instead of making all the inlay with very tiny pieces!!! You are a very sage girl! LOL :D Love the cute and fancy circle in the centre, so catch eye!!
Hope you and Butch are well! Sending you love, peace and prayers as always from my little part of the world! Big hugs!
