What can I say? When inspiration strikes, what’s a girl to do? 
This one uses Bella Rose DSP, Pink Pirouette CS for the base, Riding Hood Red CS, Whisper White CS, Old Olive CS (it looks darker in the pic than the ribbon…but it really is Old Olive!). Ink is Riding Hood Red and Pink Pirouette ink. Flowers are from Heartfelt Thanks and the sentiment is from Sincere Salutations. Ribbon is 1/4 in Old Olive grosgrain. Squares and sentiment are on dimensionals.
I’ve really got to run…I have to leave in an hour for conferences and have yet to shower! eek!!
Enjoy!
I had a little bit of time this morning (conferences don’t start until 1 today!), so I hopped over to SCS and found a sketch challenge with a fun layout.
My first thought was to create a Christmas card, using Snow Swirled. However, after glancing through the gallery, I saw that quite a few people had the same idea (with beautiful results!) So – I decided to make one using a different set, in a different way than it might be intended (something I like to do!). Here’s what I came up with:
Baroque Motifs makes a lovely “snowflake”. The small flower almost looks like pointsettias. I used Bella Rose DSP on the bottom 2/3 of the card and Kiwi Kiss for the card base. The sentiment (from Snow Swirled), the small flowers, and snowflakes are stamped in Kiwi Kiss (except the center one, which is done in Riding Hood Red). A little Dazzling Diamonds to accent the snowflakes (applied using my quickie glue pen, since it has a finer point than 2-way glue) and Very Vanilla grosgrain complete the look. The sentiment and snowflakes are mounted on dimensionals. Easy, peasy! (and I LOVE the fact it’s done with IN colors – love these colors!!)
