I had better get cracking with this week's challenge. The talented Ginny is our host and she has chosen a clever challenge...

I kept going to reach for my stamps and then realised that I wasn't allowed! In the end I created a Spellbinders card. Not quite up to Sue Wilson standard yet but I do love checking out her inspirational blog.
Our sponsor this week is Joanna Sheen. The lucky challenge winner will receive a £10 gift token to the Joanna Sheen store.
I began by printing out my patterned snowflake paper from the Debbi Moore Shabby Chic Christmas CD-ROM. There are loads of great papers on this CD so it was hard to choose which one to print first!
My card blank was made with Spellbinders Grand Labels Eleven. I also cut the base layer with this Label but used the next size down. The next layer is silver mirri-board cut using Spellbinders Labels Twenty. I topped this with the Cheery Lynn Frency Pastry die in the DM paper. This is the first time I've used a Cheery Lynn die and was really impressed with them. I have another die that I bought at the same time but I'll keep that one for another time!
My snowflakes were also Spellbinders and I used 2011 and 2012 Snowflake Pendants. I attached these with either foam pads or Cosmic Shimmer dries clear glue from Creative Expressions. I added a silver pearl to the middle with the silver Cosmic Shimmer glue. This is also how I made the pearls around the edge.
Don't forget to check out the other DT members' creations. Can't wait to see what you come up with for our challenge.
Happy crafting,
