Christmas Snowflake

The September Rudolph Days Challenge started yesterday and ends on September 30th.  I made red and white card today, which includes a snowflake, so it's perfect for the Craft Barn Challenge too, where the challenge is Christmas with snow/snowflakes.
 I won a beautiful Heartfelt Creations 'Sparkling Poinsettia Swirl' stamp set in a recent Oyster Stamps blog hop and the sentiment stamp is part of the set.  The snowflake is a Dovecraft punch, which I used to make an aperture in the red die-cut circle.  I used a Crafter's Companion 'Snowflakes' embossing folder and punched along the edge with a Fiskars 'Apron Lace' border punch.  Three tiny pearls finished off my card.  It's a fairly easy card to mass produce, so I'll be making a few more of this design.  It will be a good way to use up some of my big piles of red and white snippets too!

I would like to enter my card for the following challenges:

    Wonderful card! I like the way the sentiment is contained within the circle and wrapped around the pretty snowflake!

    Thanks for taking part in the September Rudolph Days Challenge.

    Saw the link at Rudy Day and zipped over for a closer look. Always love the red/white combo, and this one is lovely. Like the scallop on the embossed dots border up against that brilliant red. The intricate snowflake design in the negative circle piece was a clever use & really adds a lot of dimension to an already gorgeous card. TFS & Have a great week.
