This week's challenge over at FCCB is to make a project with a snowman or snowflake on it. Don't forget there has to be a cricut cut on it.

Here is my card....
 

 

I cut my little guy from Snow Folks at 3" and added some embossing,inking and dimension.

The tree is a memory box die and I distressed a chipboard snowflake and added twinklets.

 

 

The DP is Snow Day by Bo Bunny and I added (of course as it's my fave thing at the moment!!) Stampendous's frantage chunky white enamel and powder blue fragments for texture.

The lovely sentiment is from White Christmas from My Craft Spot.

Zva Creative and FCCB Challenge

Hello,Happy Monday Everyone. I would just like to say hello to all my followers new and old.

I appreciate all of you.

Today over at FCCB we are celebrating birthdays and want to see a candle on your project.

The fabulous Zva Creative provided pearl flourishes and gems to use on my card. I love how this turned out.

I made a card similar to this last year but made some improvements to it!

My previous one was smaller and didn't stand well but I played with the design to sort that.



I love the pearl flourish on the flame.

Recipe

Wrap It Up - 10"

I used my gypsy to weld the candle into a card.

I hid the contours and removed the flame from the back part.

I cut the layers for the front and then cut the lower layers for the inside.

This gave it more weight and at this size supports itself well.

DP - Echo park - Hello Summer

Teeny Tag Greetings and die - My Creative Time

Vintage photo ink and 3d foam

Gems and pearl flourish - Zva Creative

Check out all the inspiration over at FCCB and come and join in the fun.

We love seeing your projects.
