Hope in winter

This week's challenge on Daring cardmakers is 'snowdrops and carnations' - apparently they are the flowers associated with January.

I've used a digi download I bought from Doodle Pantry, together with one of the sentiments that came with it. I coloured the leaves of the snowdrop with copics and added stickles crystal ice to the petals (I was going to use glossy accents, but it was all gummed up and I couldn't get it to flow).

I've used the sketch for CPS199:

I used a crafts-too square embossing folder to create the embossed dots and rounded the corners of that, the cardbase and the sentiment using my Xcut corner punch.

This is also for:

Tuesday throwdown 30: embossing
Simply create 34: I'm the boss - embossing
Speedy the cat (Mark's finest papers) 37: embossing
Cutie Sunday 125: winter
Lots to do: winter flowers

The lollipop ladies 11: hey Jube - add some glitter or bling

Tellen's place: punches
Cupcake 123: white is white
Drunken stampers 49: whiteout
City crafters 38: winter white
Moxie Tuesday trigger: winter white - this is the photo inspiration:
