Let it Snow with Crafty Addicts

Hiya, Folks, well only 3 more sleeps till Christmas day, can't believe it's nearly here. Still have a few more bits and bobs to organise, running a bit behind as haven't been too well the past few weeks, any-ways nearly done. As it's Wednesday, it's time again for a new challenge over at Crafty Addicts, this will be our last one till the New Year (Jan 2017) and as of then we will be going to a Monthly Challenge on the first Wednesday of each month. Back to this challenge, our theme as always is 'Anything Goes' but with a twist of 'Let it Snow'. Sponsoring us is the fab Lemon Shortbread. I am using their adorable image Poinsettia Girl for my DT inspiration. Here is what I created...

I placed image as shown, then sentiment topper below, along with another poinsettia flower. To finish off and decorate, I added more glitter snow to the poinsettias, gold adhesive domes, gems and peel-offs.

Had fun creating this, as it was different using non traditional colours, a wee bit out my comfort zone, but loved it! Printed, coloured and carefully cut out image, added ice snow glitter then left to one side. I took a 7x7 card blank and punched the corners. I matt and layered glitter card with centura pearl card that I embossed, punching corners also to match, adding ribbon border. I die cut glitter card with the eyelet square die, then added image, as shown. To finish off and decorate, I added flowers, snowflake charms, brads, gems and die cut leaves.
