Card Concept #45


Hello my stampy friends!
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday with your family and friends!
My son came home, so it was great having him here to spoil for a few days!

Today starts our last Inspiration Challenge here at The Card Concept before the Christmas holidays! Then we will be taking a break till first of January.

I just love, love, love this inspiration photo!



It made me think of a cold, crisp winter night sky. 
Stars just seem to really shine brightly on a cold winter night. Then add some snowflakes....beautiful!




My card was very simple to make. I used the Snowy Backdrop die  (Lawn Fawn) and dark blue paper for the sky. I adhered it to a white card base. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment from Snowy Backdrops(Lawn Fawn) in navy onto vellum. The big snowflake- MFT Pierced Snowflake die-was cut with some white glitter paper. I wanted a little more sparkle, so I added some Tim Holtz stars. Very simple, but classy and elegant IRL!

I really hope you will join us here at the last Card Concept Challenge for 2015!
Y'all always blow my socks off!!!

And please go visit my team mates
 for some fabulous creation!
