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!!!

My card here is for Joan's Garden Challenge # 23. To make a window card, with an ornament, gold and something fuzzy. I just so happen to get my new ornament nestabilities in mail today!!
Is that perfect or what!! This is a one layer card.



Here is the inside:


Here are some details on my card.
I cut out my window w/ the ornament nestabilities, I went around the edge with gold Smooch from MFP. Added some flowers and leaves. The flower center is my something fuzzy, I added some glue and fun flock in red. The inside the ornament is a sticker and I filled it with glitter and the sentiment is stamped in red Vivid' ink. The sentiment is from MFP " Bells on Bobtail" and the CS is 120lb. Ivory from GKD. My photo didn't show how very shiny and glittery my card is.
