This card was inspired by Hand Stamped Sentiments #277 and Color Throwdown #469. I wanted to make an Stampin' Up!-only card to send a downline member and the sketch was very reminiscent of the border from the Swirly Snowflakes Thinlits set, and the all-blue combo from Color Throwdown was perfect to go with the snowflakes. Even thought I had a clear plan of what I wanted on my card, it still took a little while to put together because there was a lit of little pieces to take out from the die-cuts. I should really remember to use wax paper next time to try and cut down on time with that.
Tip: The silver ribbon was already curling a little bit from being on a bobbin, but I used my scissor blade to curl it even more (like when you curl ribbon on gift packaging). I went delicately so I wouldn't damage the ribbon, but it did give it a nice curl that went well with the snowflake swirls look of the card.

Love how you used the snowflakes with the Softly Falling embossing folder to create a wintry scene. Great take on our sketch. Thanks for playing at Hand Stamped Sentiments.
