Christmas Joy

In my continuing quest to get at least one Christmas card a week done I finally managed to 
get one done! It's just been one of those days where I move things around on a card base
over and over and over until I come up with something I'm happy with. Go ahead, admit
it. I 'm not the only one that does this am I? I know I'm not! Anyway, the challenge at
52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown this week is to use metallic papers.  And here's what I 
ended up with.




 I knew I wanted to use blue and silver papers. And when I think of those 2 colors and
Christmas  I think snowflakes.  So I dug out these metallic blue snowflake Dazzles from
 Hot Off the Press which I've had for quite a while and thought I'd put them to good use.
 Now I'm sitting here looking at the finished product and thinking "why didn't I fussy cut
that large snowflake like I did the small one?" I simply adhered it to the white card stock
and die cut the circles. I cut some banners, added the corner and greeting Dazzles and
finished off with some gems. Thanks for taking a look!

    This is gorgeous, Judy! The blue, silver and white color combo is very elegant. To be honest, I think the white circle background showcases that stunning large snowflake more than if you'd fussy cut it. Thanks for sharing your fantastic card with us at 52{C}CT this week! :)
