Snowy Cards

Hello!

Nearly at the weekend and the Christmas holidays :) I am just popping by quickly with a few one layer cards:

 
I masked the edges of the card and stamped these beautiful snowflakes from Waltzingmouse Stamps in first and second generation teal ink.  The sentiment is from Uniko Studio and embossed in silver.  The sentiment gave me the idea for my second, more CAS version.

 
I die cut a butterfly and used it as an aperture to stamp the snowflakes in shades of blue and aqua.  I like the wintry butterfly!
 
I will link up at Less Is More where this week's one layer card theme is snow and at CASology where the cue card is snow.  I will also link up at Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday Challenge which has a wintry theme and at the Anything Goes Challenge at Addicted to Stamps.
 
I hope you are still finding time to fit in to some crafty time in the run up to Christmas :)
 
Thanks for stopping by!

    Hi Sarah. Two beautiful cards ... love how you've used the masking on these cards. These would be perfect for the December sketch challenge at Happy Little Stampers. Hope to see you there! Loll xx

    Sorry, on my first try with this message, I included a link to the HLS challenge, but it didn't work. xx
