I had my grandaughter, Nico, stay overnight - we were busy crafting away. We made three cards, this is one of them - and I think it will work for today's colour challenge. We probably have the 5 colours and several more shades of blue. I had the snowman already coloured. Nico and I created the background - striped paper - using strips from my scrap bin - she picked out all the colours and decided what order they would go in. We wanted the snowman to be standing on some snow - Vellum was used here and we added the diamond stickles. Found some blue glitter paper for the base of the Easel card. Nico found the ribbon she wanted to use and picked out the snowflake brads. We really liked how this turned out. She is going to give this to her MOMMY.....
Thanks for looking...
Hugs.. Nico and Gramma Rose

What an adorable card, made by an adorable little girl. Isn't it fun to have a stamping partner? I love it when my grands come to visit...they still like to craft!!

What a wonderful job she did! How fun to craft with a youngster! I love the colors she chose for her striped background. She should be so proud of this wonderful card!
