PTI November Blog Hop ~ Snowflakes

PaperTrey Ink is having their November Blog Hop and it's all about sparkly snowflakes.

This first card I made uses Fancy Flakes Die Set. I have a niece who lives in Florida so I thought I would mail her some snowflakes from Maine since we get a fair amount of snow each year. (wink ;-))

For my next card, I used Out On A Limb to make the tree branch and then stamped some pine sprigs from Bells & Boughs. The pinecones are from Peaceful Pinecones. I added snow using a white gel pen and the snowflakes are again, from Fancy Flakes Die Set
Have fun on the blog hop! Thanks for visiting. Blessings~ Birgit

Both of your cards are so much fun! I'm certain your niece will love receiving the snowflake card!

Both cards are so pretty Birgit, but I really like the 2nd one (I have a soft spot for anything with pinecones!!). LOVE how you shaded just a corner of the background on this one too! Well done! :0)

What a gorgeous pair of cards and I love the second one in particular - the sky inking behind the branch really adds something special.
