I actually did the challenge for Monday two days before it was posted but the card was for the Inspiration challenge. So I thought IÂ’d try something very similar in a holiday card then thought IÂ’d try something I hadnÂ’t seen before and bring one image out of the collage area. I like it and no doubt itÂ’s been done and IÂ’ve just never seen it!
Sponging was done for the brown then stamped with the cross hatch texture image from HA. I used a water brush and pad ink for color on the images. The snowflake charms are attached with Diamond Glaze. I just pulled out every small holiday sentiment I could think of and started stamping the background.

This is such a cool card! The collage is awesome and I love the poinsettia out of the oval. The snowflakes look great and your background really turned out beautifully. I always love your work.

WOW!!!!! I must say this is the prettiest card I have seen on here. I would love to have step by step instructions. I have been stamping for a year and a half, however, haven't learned a whole lot because of health issues (back surgery gone bad). Now I am doing better and I want to learn new ways to make cards. If you care to share please pm me. Thanks
