December Downline Challenge- Birthday Sketch

Photo Details

Poster: CAKath

This month our downline was challenged to make our best birthday card using this old sketch challenge (182). I was in a winter mood, so I created a sparkly, snowy card. The base is Baja Breeze, there is a cuttlebug layer in white and the squares rest on that. I used a few different sets and even some DP to fill the squares. The center oval rests on a large SU felt snowflake, with sparkly gems on the end of each point. I popped up the little snowman, using tiny rain drops for his buttons. I used lots of stickles throughout to create sparkle.

Thanks for viewing and commenting.
