I started off by using a few different Distress inks to make the background, then splashed a little water on the background and lifted with a paper towel, sorry I forgot to write down which ones I used.
Sara Signature collection- winter wonderland- Frosty Christmas die set, big snowflake
Martha Stewart- snowflake punches
Simon Says - Tiny words Christmas
Distress ink background
Did anyone go out yesterday to get any deals, we did and didn't find much. I almost came home with a kitty but I took too long to decide if I should adopt it and when we went back someone had already adopted it.
Thanks so much for stopping by today,
Connie

Of course you had to use it and it's so pretty! Those are super nice snowflake punches, too. I gladly stayed home yesterday. I hope the kitty went to a good home.
What a lovely card! I wish you a Happy New Year.
What a fabulous idea! That background is beautiful and just perfect for your snowflakes! GREAT JOB!! Nope, I didn't go out yesterday but I did hear a few other friends say how disappointed they were. Guess the retailers marked down everything early in hopes of more sales.
Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Double D ‘Let It Snow’ challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.

What a sweet Christmas card!Hapy New Year!
Soon after Christmas, Japanese people start preparing for the year-end and New Year’s events.
Compared to Christmas, many of these events are based on Japanese tradition and are deeply related to religion.
The end-of-year party is called “bonenkai” in Japanese. “Bonen” means to forget (the worries of) the past year.
People are busy with events on New Year’s Eve.
Awesome background for your snowy card! Love it!
I love the blues in the background, Connie. Very soothing and perfect for the snowflakes!
I didn't go shopping for after Christmas specials. Too bad about the kitty. ♥
Perfect CAS creation, although I may be singing that tune for the rest of the year! lol Thanks so much for playing along with us at The Double D, Let It Snow Challenge, Donna, DT Member. Happy New Year!
