Here we are at the 2nd of December, so it's time for the big reveal over at The Card Chain Challenge. This month I sent my card to Pia in Norway and decided to use the colour palette, the sketch and the theme of snowflakes.
I found I already had some snowflake shapes as cutting files so I arranged them in an oval shape and used silver heat transfer foil to transfer the pattern onto my card. The sentiment was also created with my scan n cut, I tried to find the font I used but failed. I spent ages going through them all and still didn't find it. I must remember to write these things down, but then I would lose the bit of paper!
My card came all the way from New Zealand, thanks Suze. The front of this card is gold and silver mirror card, so pretty impossible to photograph. I am so sorry I can't do it justice. I was very impressed that it only took 2 weeks to reach me, I know that in recent times it has been over a month.
Supplies:
cardstock: Hunky Dory adorable scorable matt-tastic card; Hobbycraft silver glitter card; Gold glitter card; Gold card
Dies: Snowflake die; Stitched rectangle
Scan N Cut and silver hot foil
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today, I really appreciate it.

Beautifully done card, great design and love the brushed gold card stock!
Well done choosing several of the challenge prompts. I think it looks fantastic, even more so in real life, and it's interesting to read about the techniques you used. Your card has been put on the wallboard in my crafting room for admiration and inspiration:)
I just love your take on the sketch, Hilary! Your trio of snowflakes looks amazing atop the snowflake oval background!!
Lovely take on the sketch and the colors, Hilary.
You've got the colours spot on Hilary, I just said to Ellie I was scheduling my post for Sunday, still not got the right dates, but realise now I actually missed on on this one.

This colour palette, used in a Christmas setting, feels as fresh as a gust of arctic air. It's sophisticated and chic, sweet and beautiful - just like your terrific card itself.
