Snow is coming

I have made this card for the first Rudolph Days Challenge in 2016, I'm going to try and join in each month this year.

Just Because

This is a card that was published in last months Simply Cards & Papercraft Magazine.  The new edition is out on Thursday so I can share this with you now.

I was commissioned to make two cards for the Cardmakers' Challenge feature, we were given a colour combination to work with.

I followed a sketch that I found on Pinterest and used papers from Wild Rose Studio.  I used a template to make the butterfly shaped rosette.  The sentiment is computer generated and I cut it out with my Die-namics Fishtail Flags die.
