Charisma Cardz Challenge

Hi all, today is my first post as a DT member for Charisma Cardz, which this week has a theme of 'Snowflakes'. Each week the lovely ladies at Charisma Cardz bring us some fabulous inspiration to get our creativity flowing, and I know there are some gorgeous makes from the rest of the Design Team to get you inspired!

I have used the sketch from this week's Sketch Saturday, here's my take:




I have used my new Lili of the Valley stamp that I got the other week at the NEC, a really sweet winter angel.



The lace is by The Ribbonbox, also an Nec buy, and I have used two strands and dotted with some flat back pearls.




I have used Promarkers to colour, and added some Glamour Dust to her wings and snow flakes for some shimmer.




The backing papers are by Docrafts, and were a freebie from a magazine, and I have used the sketch from Sketch Saturday. I stitched the small squares onto the blue base paper, and added some gems along the bottom of the petal points. Finally I added 3 clear sparklets to the corner, they are my new favourite embellishment, they're so sparkly and glittery in real life.

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:
