Another YNS card - Shopper Fhiona

Hi all. Hope you all had a great week so far. Today I am posting a card that I made a while ago. I just haven't get a chance to post yet. Here is the finished card I made using Shopper Fhiona for this card.

Please don't forget that you still have time for another week to join us for the YNS Challenge of using 'yellow' & 'pink' with requirement which is to use any YNS image. There are fabulous prizes for this challenge too. If you haven't have one yet, be sure to check out their fun stamps or limited edition digis at Your Next Stamp.

Here is my card for today. For the scene, it was created using the Martha Stewart pattern paper pad. There was a piece with tree and I cut this tree out, then assembled it with other pieces to make it like a little park/garden background. Since the strawberry strips have been added, I then added a little strawberry button on the tree and outlined the tree with stickle. I used a little red & yellow FlowerSoft as flowers on the ground by this tree.

MMSC #22 - Windswept Fhiona card

Good Friday everyone. Many of you know that I am playing catching up & MIA so much lately. I am trying to make card as soon as I found a free moment. I just wanted to do as much challenge as I can. I am sure there are tons of challenge sites, and wish I can participate more. Here is one of them that I got completed before the deadline. Here is the sketch of Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #22 for the week!



Here is my fnished card using the Windswept Fhiona stamp. I've used Stampin Up paper set. Use a fibre to wrap around the middle frame. I did a lot of cheat ribbons using Daisy D's rub on trim. The larger snowflake you saw was done using the liquid applique. I like it fluffy and I also use the mini snowflake border to cut the little snowflakes and added rhinestones on them. Used Flower Soft to add a little texture on her hat & scarf.
