Here's the sketch:

This tag shaped accordian card base I bought at the NEC on Sunday from the Little Claire's stall. I got quite a few, but in different colours, sadly they had run out of white, so I will have to get some online Hah!

I have used the resist embossed technique using Fancy Flourishes Scallops and Dots from Waltzingmouse Stamps.
Stamped a flourish background in Versamark and clear embossed onto some Neenah Solar White cardstock, cut to fit two panels, and sponged with distress inks in Tumbled Glass and Faded Jeans.

Then I embossed two snowflakes onto navy card, using Platinum Glitter powder by WOW!. Cut out with my circular nesties and layered onto some card sponged with the distress inks.

It's lovely and glittery, and the embossed swirls have a real glow to them. Then mounted these onto a white doily cut with an MFT die.

The middle panel has been embossed with the WOW! powder, using the flourishes, and the sentiment has been stamped twice in Brilliance Metallic Silver and Metallic Blue onto both blue and white card, then just hand cut the sentiments and popped up on foam dots. Finally added some ribbon from the Ribbon Reel, and pearly brads.
I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

Icy perfection, Pauline! I just love the blue hues and the windy white flourishes, a perfect winter scene! Your snowflakes inside those die cuts look A-MA-ZING! Gorgeous edges on the toppers of your trifold, too!
This trifold is just lovely Pauline! I love the blues, the shimmery snowflakes and the pretty cut edges on the tops!
These are AMAZING Pauline. Pure gorgeousness. ;)
One of my fave things of yours, Pauline! This is the ultimate in gorgeousness. I can see all the work that went into this, and it really shines.
I agree with Colleen, one of my all time favorites. The blue colors are so wintery and the snowflakes and all the little details on this one are perfect. I especially love how those tags are almost identical to the toppers on the sketch itself. Really great take on this sketch. Great.
I love shaped cards, and yours is amazing with all the layering and doilies. Lots of work has gone into your card, Pauline, and lots of different techniques, too. I love those WM stamps, and the swirls and snowflakes. A wonderful Christmas card that anyone would love to recieve:)

This is so pretty, Pauline! I think a tag-shaped accordian card is just a fantastic idea - three tags in one! You've combined the perfect images for these icy colors, and I think the subtle swirls in the background are a great touch. So glad you've shared this!
