Today I have a card that I made for the Bitten by the Bug 2 Monday Challenge. This weeks challenge called for a winter project, so I thought I would make snowflake card.
Sometimes it is fun to make your own patterned paper. It is simple to do and makes your project so much better! For this card I used a stamp set from the Frosted Card Workshop because it has multiple snowflakes. I simply stamped them using different ink colors to give the paper more dimension and interest. This time I even overlapped the stamps. I normally do not do this, but I like the effect it gave.

I love the frosty blue and white color combo. And the retro Christmas cuts on the Merry and Bright cartridge are right up my alley! THanks for the giveaway.

Love the color of this card, I guess I would call it "soft teal." Just glad we don't have snowflakes here in Florida LOL.
