{BYSHC} Spring into Christmas Linky Party - Card 2

Ready for card 2 of the Spring into Christmas Linky Party sponsored by the {BYSHC} Facebook group! 

Decided to pair navy leftover papers from a pretty Love From Lizi Christmas bundle with an ephemera pack from Blue Fern Studios called Yuletide. I fussy cut out the sled to use as the focal point. I then pulled together and cut down the paper scraps and formed my own “sketch” for this card. I used a ribbon from the bundle to divide the background. Included in the Lizi pack was a sheet of snowy acetate. I cut that down to cover the top background paper (the pinecones).

After pulling the bottom layer, together I die cut 2 circles of different plain paper and added penned in snow spots on the top. I added white sparkly thread and pulled the card together. I also had sticky detailed snowflakes that I added around the card for embellishment. Think those served to mute the background for the sled to stand out more. Finally, I die cut 3 layers of the sentiment using a Spellbinders set.

I like that this one turned into a more masculine card, given the colors. I can always use those!
