We just had officially our first snowflakes today. It was a blink and you'll miss kind of thing, though: it started with rain and just as I was typing this message, it turned to big fluffy snowflakes, and then in a matter of two minutes, it stopped. This is just as well: we shouldn't be getting snow before Halloween, it's just too soon! Winter promises to be long enough as it is, it doesn't need to start right now.
I guess that makes today's card appropriate, since the sentiment reads, "Happy Holidays and may blessings abound like snowflakes". When I started this card (based off of Sugar Pea Designs sketch #31), I planned on making a neutral tag and adding a stamped image to it in addition to a sentiment, but when I started selecting papers from the Snow Day stack from Lawn Fawn, I spotted this cute scrap with the bunnies and landscape and thought it would make a great tag. I decided to only add a sentiment and went looking through my options to find one that would fill out the space well. When I found the sentiment about snow in the Six Sentiments hostess stamp set (current Holidays Catalogue, page 51), I knew it would work nicely. I wanted to emboss it in colour to make it pop, but the greens and pinks I had were not proper matches, so I ended up using the Smoky Slate Stampin' Emboss powder (sadly now retired).
And that cute knit border at the bottom of the green paper? It's from the Project Life Seasonal Snapshots 2015 stamp set. Have you got yours yet? It's a must-have!
