Winter Wishes

Here's my card for November's second Viva la Verve sketch.  I used the sketch to make another holiday themed design.

The colors for the card came from the pretty grays and blues in the plaid paper I used as the base for my design.  I adhered a wide gray cardstock panel to the left side of the cardfront, then positioned a frilly doily on top.  A pair of fishtail flag strips--one blue and one shiny silver--were placed over the gray panel.  For the sentiment, I stamped "winter wishes" from Verve's Snow Wonderful stamp set on a white pierced circle die cut. After matting the sentiment on gray cardstock, I placed it at the center of the doily.  I accented it with a pretty wood veneer snowflake.  I wrapped the panel with some gray twine and secured it with a bow, then adhered it to a coordinating blue card base.
