Let it snow

This week there are several challenges with a prompt for either snow or a Christmas song, so I'm giving them lots of softly falling snowflakes. I actually wanted to use some felt snowflakes, but I only had a small snowflake die. So instead of using felt snowflakes, I created a felt background for the snowflakes. The circles were cut out of some white felt-like material I got from the local book-slash-craft shop. To create some colour contrast, and to tie it in with the background paper, which was a freebie digital paper from the Crafter's Companion member site, I used my Spectrum Noir pen to colour the felt.


The layout is based on this week's sketch over at Dutch Card Lovers.



I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Dutch Card Lovers – Sketch 113
Jingle Belles – SOFTLY falling snow
CCAYR – Use Halloween colours
Fab's Big Christmas Card Challenge – Something shiny and/or snowflakes
Sparkles Christmas Challenge – Christmas songs (Let it snow)
