Joan's Gardens Card Challenge

Hello!  I know it's late, but it's been a busy day and I didn't have much time to craft or spend on the computer today.  I did want to pop in, though, and share the card I made for this week's Card Challenge on Joan's Gardens blog.  The requirements this week were to make a card or tag with an animal, a winter scene, some kind of embossing and use a die. 

Here is my card for the challenge:


I started with a card base of GKD Heavy Base Weight White and embossed the card front with one of the Sizzix Birds and Wreath embossing folders.  I stamped the winter scene from Heartfelt Creations HCPC 3357 Snowy Window Scene with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored it with Copic markers.  My animal is the little rabbit in front.  I added Glossy Accents to the holly berries and Stickles to the ribbons on the packages in the mailbox.  For the snow, I used a combination of New Fallen Snow Glitter (La Jolla Stamp Co.) and Polar White Flower Soft.  I added a diecut flourish made with my new Cheery Lynn Tropical Flourish die.  A couple of Prima poinsettias with gold gems in the centers finished my card.

Thanks for stopping by!  I'm always thrilled when you visit.  See you soon!
