I have a head-cold today, and it's affected my brain. This is my third attempt at a card which conforms to the sketch. The first one was going to be a bit squished looking, so after I'd done the squares and the alcohol backgrounds and all the rest, I put it to one side. The second one, somehow I didn't read the sketch properly.
So third time lucky...I decided to use this stamped image which I had coloured over the weekend and which was sitting on the desk.
The base is Making Memories Meg. Nearly all gone, alas. The next layer is Core'dinations embossed with Swiss Dots and sanded. Then the Stampendous image, coloured with H2Os and layered onto more Core'dinations, with Stickles around each square (to cover a slight bit of stray black from one of the snowman's hats ). The top strip is more embossed (Snowflakes) and sanded Core'dinations, with purple squares and white glitter card snowflakes with purple snaps for centres.
If I had more of that Core'dinations I'd make this my March card for the 09 Christmas Card challenge. I'll have to see have I any suitable Bazzill.
Lovely sketch when I finally got there - thanks Roxie.
Colours in the photo look a bit darker than RL, will try to get a better picture tomorrow.

Sabrina, I am so sorry that you aren't feeling well. I love your snowflake card, even though I am sitting at my desk hoping for Spring. The little snowmen, bunny images were colored so well. Great card!

Even though it is showing a celebration of snow, for which all of us anxiously searching for signs of Spring will have to forgive , this is a very cute card!
