White Christmas? Santa should move South

Today starts a new challenge at Tuesday Morning Sketches and for my card I used some wonderful stamps and dies from Creative Vision Stamps called Elf This.  I dry embossed the background with snowflakes and heat embossed the sentiments.  I also used a Cherry Lynn snowflake die for the center with an enamel dot.
I just got new tires for my vehicle so I'm ready for the snow....argh they cost so much!!!

Peace & Snow

I wanted to make a card that wasn't for a DT. I recently bought some new die cuts and I got this beautiful snowflake panel and thought it would be a great background, but today used it as a focus. I also found a piece of blue vellum that I had that included in this too. I added some bling and pearls to the snowflakes. I also dry embossed the color papers with snowflakes.
