Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #34
It is has been raining and dreary here all day. We've watched some DVDs, we've been to the hairdresser, the dentist, and the shops. We had lunch at the Hyperdome...because even I felt the need to be out and about!
In order to help lift the spirits a little, I also managed to sneak in a little creative time for Karen Giron's latest Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge:
...and this is the card that I made:
List of Ingredients (all from Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted):
Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, Riding Hood Red and Very Vanilla
Ink: Chocolate Chip Classic Ink
Accessories: On Board Trimmings (retired), Close to Cocoa Patterns DSP (retired), Riding Hood Red 1 1/4" striped grosgrain ribbon, Chit Chat rub-ons (retired), Eyelet Border punch, versamark, heat and stick powder, heat tool, Fine Supernova Stampin' Glitter, SNAIL adhesive and dimensionals.
The final card measures 5 3/4" square. I have covered the chipboard in Chocolate Chip classic ink, then versamark, then heat and stick powder, then in oodles of brown Stampin' Glitter. Needless to say, I am covered in the stuff ;-).
I hope that you are having a sparkly afternoon, even if it is raining in your neck of the woods too.
Thanks for visiting my little corner of cyberspace :-).
Sam.
ETA: I just walked past my craft table and looked at this card and suddenly thought...who makes brown snow flakes? So I've been sitting here, watching the 'Farmer Wants a Wife' and mulling over brown snow flakes. I've decided that the dilemma of brown snow flakes is not really so dilemma-ful, as I do live in Australia...and our Christmas falls in the middle of a usually sweltering summer...so of COURSE our snow flakes would be brown...scorched in 40 degree heat! DUH!! ;-).

Stunning!! So elegant and sparkly, and I really love the red and warm brown tones together.
I'm with Louise - I think it's a CHOCOLATE Snowflake!!
Oooh, yes - definitely chocolate :) I love this card - it's so festive and perfect!
Scorched snowflakes *giggle* It could work like fried ice-cream... Great card, Sam, and the colours are very suitable for an Aussie Christmas.
