Merry Monday #79 {Snowflakes, Blue, White and Silver/Gray}

Welcome to another Merry Monday Christmas Card Club! Today is Thanksgiving Monday and I am happily at home, puttering about making turkey soup and doing laundry. Might even squeeze some "crafty" time in!! 


Today we have a colour/theme challenge for you!!! We are looking for Blue, Silver/Gray and White with Snowflakes!!! I wanted to create a clean and simple look for my card. I used an Impression Obsession tree die with some glimmer paper and the cardstock is textured AC. The snowflake background is a new Darice embossing folder and the sentiment comes from There She Goes. I am also linking up to their current Christmas card challenge!!!
