A snowflake...or is it?

Hello friends

It's not Chrismassy at all today..or is it?
The die I've featured on my card is actually... Create A Flake Six!

I loved the pretty design and thought hold on a minute...
this would be a nice little medallion shaped flower.

Using 6 x 6 Matting Basics A and B for my card matting,
then each flower matted onto Classic Squares Large #2.
I found a little flower from Marisa's Bouquet on my craft desk along
with a leaf from Romantic Blooms One.

The sentiment is stamped and I hand cut the banner.
 Someone else was clearly confused as to whether it was a flower or a snowflake!

I hear Hope and Chances blog is having a giveaway...
might be worth a nose! 

Take care friends and pop back tomorrow for Friday Die Day.

    Good morning Christine
    Great card today, it doesn't look at all Christmassy. Obviously it was the flowers Bella was smelling! Such a cute little nose.
    Your son is fighting dirty on his blog!!
    Take care

    Very pretty card Christine and it certainly doesn't look like a snow flake - very clever.

    Hello Christine, I often look at your blog, love your work, today I felt I really must say something and not just be cheeky and walk in and walk out again.
    Love today's card, also that this die doesn't have to be just for Christmas. My kind of die. Brenda xx

    Hi Christine. It is good to see Christmas dies being used all year round like you have on this lovely card. Sorry but I don' t use Facebook but I love this new blog. I think you have made a very wise choice making Elliott such a big part of Hope and Chances. I think we are going to see lots of friendly banter between the two blogs : ) Take care x
