Double D Challenge - Dreaming of a White Christmas

Happy Wednesday Dear Friends!

It's time once again for a new & fun challenge at the

Double D Challenge Blog.

Today Team Diane is hosting the challenge

and the theme Diane has chosen is . . .

DREAMING OF A WHITE CHRISTMAS

Check out this fabulous inspiration tile board Diane has created ...

 

Here's what I created for today's theme . . .

I'm fortunate to have so many beautiful background dies

and this Sue Wilson 'Festive Collection - Snowflake Background' die

is the one that jumped out of the binder and begged to be used today.

 

I die cut the background using the same white card stock
as my card base.  Then for the center I used the beautiful Pearlized Esse
White Metallic card stock which I've had in my stash for quite some time now!

Instead of using the snowflake center die,
I wanted to simply add my sentiment and a touch of sparkle for my finishing touchs.
I recently purchased this beautiful Precious Marieke 'Merry
Christmas' die from Dies R Us and thought it would work perfectly.

The hint of green in the inspiration board guided
me toward what foil paper to use for my sentiment.  PERFECT!

The touch of sparkle came from the Nuvo Crystal Drops I placed in
the enter of each snowflake on the background.
