This card was created for this week’s PPA sketch challenge by Margaret Moody, a talented pal known for her clean layouts and stunning design. I wanted to use my sister’s new stamp set Snow Swirled. I love this stamp set. I used the snowflake stamp and some scraps leftover from my Holiday Card Event. Red and green are the traditional colors for Christmas so I decided to do my take on this card with the snowflake background and a strip of textured paper done with the Petals-A-Plenty Stampin’ Up! Textured Impressions Folder for the Big Shot. I like the way my card turned out. Let me know what you think.
