Snowdrop

My friend's husband collects different varieties of snowdrops and he has dozens of them!  I wanted to make a birthday card for him with a snowdrop on.  As it was a masculine card, I decided to keep CAS in black and white, with a touch of silver.  I love snowdrops too, as they are the first sign of spring in the garden. 

I used a Memory Box 'Grand Happy Birthday' die and layered the die cut over the white card blank.  The black and silver snowdrop is a peel off.  I used three small circles from the same peel off sheet in the top corner.

I am joining in the following challenges:

  1. I had never even heard of Snowdrops until now. I had to look them up. It said they dislike warm climates so that's probably why I've never heard of them since I live in Florida. They are quite pretty. Your card is a lovely CAS creation. [Bunny]
