Christmas Card Challenge #35

Sparkle's challenge this week is to use some element from her card (which is fantastic) to create a Christmas card. I chose to incorporate snowflakes into my card. Well I didn't so much "incorporate" it as make it the entire focus!

This card reminds me of my wedding. We had a little bit of a snowflake theme and my colors were victorian lavender and deep red with touches of silver. Well really the only deep red was in the bridesmaid's bouquets. Anyway, here's the card:

The silver snowflake sticker is left over from my wedding. We would buy them everytime HL would put stickers on sale (the entire stock). I used the small ones in the set for the wedding invitation envelopes, and I used some on the programs and different things like that. I just realized they are nine years old and still sticky--not too bad!

Okay now I'm all nostalgic for wedding pictures. I'm going to dig mine out and see about doing some posting...

Details:

Paper: dark and light purple from stash

Other: sticker (Class A'Peals, a division of Stampendous) white ribbon (HL)

Beautiful xmas card--I just love snowflakes, minus shoveling them. I figured it was embossed, not a sticker. Hope you can share the invites, they sounded beautiful!
