Here's my card using Kimberly's sketch and our first PINspired Colour Challenge..

 Merry Christmas

For my card today, I used Flourishes "Color Made Easy" cardstock from the Crocus Collection.  I used the "Snow Day" stamp collection to add a "stitched sweater" pattern to my punched edge Flourishes Classic Ivory Cardstock.  My greeting is from the "Naturally Merry" stamp collection.

To achieve my silver snowflakes, I first die cut the 2 layers of the Spellbinder's snowflake shapes and then inked them up with Versamark ink and sprinkled silver embossing powder over top.  I carefully melted the powder using my heat tool.  I used some pretty silver jewel brads to hold my 2 layers together.

Check out our prize for this month...
