Sketch Spotlight Callenge GKD

Hi everybody!!! Hope you are staying warm, I am because I'm staying inside. Too cold and windy. So I made a couple of cards and here is the one I made for Gina's Sketch challenge.
Pretty cool sketch, and it was very fast and easy. The last time I was in Michael's I picked up a card pack out of their dollar bin. It looked just like sweaters. I stamped my image on it and cut it out. While the ink was wet I used a q-tip to wipe out the snow flakes and then let it dry good before handling it. The beauty of this is, I have the envelopes that came with it!

The stamps I used are from Rupa Shevde's set " Warm and Wonderful" by Gina K. Designs.
I'm off to cook dinner, have a great week and stay warm!!!
