MMSC31, FTTC45 & FLLCDEC - Snowy Gate fold

I made this card for three challenges, Midnight Madness Sketch challenge (MMSC31), and Flourishes Timeless Tuesday (FTTC45) - to make a gate fold. This week's MMSC lends itself so nicely to a gate fold card!! Finally this card is for FLLCDEC - where we were to be inspired by our favorite flower...well my favorite flower is a Tulip, and they come in pretty much any color you can think of, but my absolute favorite are red and blue ones!


I colored my Lamp Post from the new Lamp Post Greetings released last month from Flourishes with copics, sponged the background "sky" and covered portions of the image with glacier white flower soft for snow! To finish off the card, I added some red rhinestones and red satin ribbon.

Thank you so much for visiting today! Have a wonderful day!
