Hello Classy Friends.
Diane here with you today.
The holidays are once again behind us.
They seem to arrive before we know it and leave the same way.
But, Mr Winter just arrived on December 21st and he is going to
stick around for awhile!
If you live in a warmer part of the country, count your blessings,
as it is bitter cold here!.
Our challenge this week is teal and snowflakes.
Using the inspiration photo below,
I was very much "Pinterest" inspired with
the "nine patch" cards
and saw a beautiful card that inspired me,
however I changed it up a bit to suit me and to make it "mine"!
and saw a beautiful card that inspired me,

Cutting 9 squares, each 1 1/2", distressing each edge, then inking with TH Broken China.
The papers I used for my squares are from the gorgeous
Wild Rose Studio Frosted Lace paper pack.
Each square was adhered down with Scor-Tape 1/4".
I cut snowflakes using the Impression Obsession Small Snowflake die set
Each snowflake was adorned with Baby Pearls White
I created my rose using Spellbinders Spiral Blossom One
The leaf is a PoppyStamps Gentle Leaf and the sentiment is from
an older set of Flourish stamps in my stash!
I also used Impression Obsession Heart Stems and CLD Wreath Strip
I think this will be a nice card to send someone to cheer them up
on a cold winters day, what do you think?
