Sizzix Flurry Snowflake Christmas Cards

Good morning all, Day 4 of my Christmas countdown and I have 3 cards to share today.

All these cards were made using a selection of the Sizzix flurry dies and either snowflake DP or stamped snowflakes and clear embossing powder.

They look like quick cards but it took me ages to layer the flurry dies and glue them together

This card is using Sizzix Flurry #3 cut from white card three times and layered together.  The DP is from a Nitwit /LOTV paper pack.

Sizzix Flurry #4 and stamped snowflakes using the MFT Snowflake flurry stamp set

Crafty Calendar August Challenge - Anything Goes with A Day for Daisies

Good afternoon, I hope you are having a good day.  I've just got home from work so time to get my blog post done before I go and pack a suitcase ready for my trip to the Isles of Scilly in a few days, so here's hoping the good weather lasts.....

It's the first Saturday of the month so we have a new challenge over at Crafty Calendar and the theme for August is:

'ANYTHING GOES'

For my card I have used:

Mouse Daisy from A Day For Daisies.  I coloured her first with copic markers.  I laid down a base colour using a copic maker and then I added shading with polychromos pencils.

I couldn't find coloured card that quite matched so I just tinted some with the same copic marker for the sentiment tag and card edges,
