Friday Mash Up & Freshly Made!

Fall has definitely been ushered into my neighborhood ~ the trees are glorious, the air is crisp and the garden has fallen into it's winter rest....did I say winter!!! You bet, and I've been busy getting ready for my Christmas Stack Class ~
here is a peek at just one of the cards that we will be creating ~ I flipped the sketch from {Freshly Made} 


and loosely followed it and my card also qualifies for the Friday Mash Up, as they called out for snowflakes!  ~ thanks girls for these wonderful challenges ~ please visit these gals and join in the fun!
And the card..........I sponged just a tad around this wonderful tree found in the Christmas Lodge stamp set ~ what a beautiful set and a must have in my studio! The snowflake was created using the Northern Frost Die, sticky tape & Dazzling Diamonds....a girl can never have to many dazzling diamonds! It's really hard to tell in the photo, but I used Shimmery White CS ~ there is a very subtle misting of snowflakes across the card front! I also kissed the curls using Dazzling Details under the
Merry Christmas!


And the inside, as you can see I've done some sponging to the edges, I found it too stark and wanted to soften the look a bit. I had orginally sponged the edges with Riding Hood Red and found it still needed to be softened a bit more, so I gently added Old Olive on top of it, I was pleased with the out come! What do you think?
