Once again I used the colors and the sketch. This time, instead of friendship, I used the theme of snowflakes! I'm happy to say Tina's received my card and likes it!!
I cut the silver using the large rectangle from the Blueprints 2 set - I use this die all the time since it's the perfect layer. Next I cut the two diagonal pieces from two pieces of patterned paper to mix and match. The cuts were larger than needed so I taped them together on the back leaving the narrow gap, then die cut with an AJVD dot stitched rectangle. Next I cut a vivid bloom from navy and a snowflake from gold. The snowflake has a single gold gem at center. Stamped the sentiment strip & gave it a mat layer - done!!
The wonderful Dawn (Dawn's World) from New Zealand had my name. I was delighted to receive her card before November 30th, given the state of mail service. Her darling bear really made me smile!!
She also included this bonus friendship card!!
I love the gradient stripes in the background - so gorgeous. And thanks for the sweet stamps too, Dawn!! I've known Dawn for 12 years through Hero Arts and now we're teamies on Die Cut Divas!! Cardmaking has brought me many wonderful friends - I'm so lucky!

Such a beautiful card, Linda. Great take on the sketch and the use of color option!
Well done using several of the options to make your card. It's very elegant, I like how you used these color and pattern combinations. Great take on the sketch as well. I normally love playing with sketches, and I loved this one as well, but I kept it easy for myself by using the option of snowflakes:)
love how you used the color combo and the sketch on your beautiful card, linda1
Just beautiful!! And I always marvel at everyone who manages to implement sketches and color challenges.
Lovely use of the colors and sketch - very unique and striking.
I love the patterns on your DP here Linda - a lovely background for your elegant snowflake! xx
Great use of the sketch Linda, I didn't even "see" it to start with, it just looks like a beautifully designed card! What a lovely package of stuff from Dawn too!
Brilliant card, your gold snowflake looks stunning on that navy mat. Great cards from Dawn too xx
What a fantastic card you made Linda. I'm glad my card made you smile. I thought he was cute. I can't believe it's been 12 years since we "meet" in the Hero Arts Group. Time just disappears doesn't it Linda. Love being your friend. Take care
