Happy New Year to you all! TodayÂ’s sketch is an interesting one, & I took a couple of liberties with it in order to make my elements work. I laid it down horizontally & my corner element and little circles are all tied together but I hope the sketch is still recognizable
The snowflake wreath was silver embossed & die cut w/ a large circle. I added a turquoise layer die cut w/ an exquisite circle die behind it then the added the turquoise forstyville border across the bottom. The greeting is only a portion of a larger Christmas greeting. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.
Happy New Year & thanks so much for looking! It's just been added to my blog w/ closeups (3rd post today, lol, but the link will take you right to this one) The Write Stuff

Eye-popping combination of bright blue and bright turquoise, Julie. Really makes a statement. Pretty die cuts and silver embossing to enhance your design.
Stunning monochromatic card to ring in the new year.

I love blues music and I have to say..I love your blues on this card! The combination is just striking! What a great interpretation of the sketch,...the snowflake border is so pretty and I love the additional turquoise snowflakes you used on the bg. WOW!! Oh and I checked out your blog..you've been busy..the lavender card and the heart jar card are both so beautiful!
