Today I'd like to share a card/tag with you that I made in response to the 2nd bonus tag over at the Funkie Junkie's 12 tags of Christmas Challenge - you can see Linda's 2nd bonus tag here. The challenge has been such fun - do try to get involved next year. Its sponsored by the funkie junkieboutique and there are great prizes plus participants get a code for money off an order to the store.
I made this card by cutting down an A4 sheet of card and scoring at intervals to create a flap and a folded card. Then I stamped the chocolate baroque snowflake that was from Craft stamper magazine in versa and heat set with clear embossing powder. Then I used distress inks to create the colours and the snowflakes resisted the ink. On the lower part of the front I added black gloss embossing paste from dreamweaver through a mask by that special touch. Once dry I added the ribbon, lace and flower and sentiment stamps inside and out.
I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

The weather is looking awful today so I think I may be going to class rather than running this morning - then I've got the term of rainbows sessions to plan! Oh and the cleaning to do! No crafting for me until tonight I think!!! Hope you have a great day! Stay dry and warm!
