Guest Designing at CAS Christmas

It's the 3rd of the month and time for a new challenge over at CAS Christmas! I'm excited to be the March Guest Designer there after winning the January challenge for my tag card. Excited too that they're celebrating the 2nd birthday of this fun challenge - best wishes!!

What a great theme - winter flowers! I had to google right away and found a wonderful House Beautiful article here. It lists 15 stunning winter flowers, some of which I had in stamp or die form. However, there I was at a JoAnn's store checking their card-making supplies sales & found another magazine freebie, this one with a snowdrop stamp set. Perfect!! Here's my card:

Supplies: Paper - DCWV A2 blue shimmer card; Paper Studio glitter;
Neenah Classic Crest Solar White
Stamps - Hero Arts CM119 Holiday Cheer - sentiment (retired);
Clearly Besotted Snowdrops (freebie set from Simply Cards & Papercraft (Dec. 2019)
Dies - My Favorite Things Blueprints 21 (retired); 
Snowdrops die (also freebie with magazine)
Other - Copic Markers; Icy Stickles; Michaels gems

My friend Sally took some beautiful photos of snowdrops springing up in her area in England - check them out on her Feb. 3rd blog post if desired. I told her I'd been surfing the Net looking at snowdrops when I should've just visited her blog - LOL.

Thanks to the team at CAS Christmas for having me as Guest Designer this month!! The challenge runs until the 24th - hope you can play along; full details HERE. Thanks for stopping and I can't wait to see your winter flower cards!!
