I guess I should have been focusing in 'snowflakes' but I actually made this card a month ago just after I saw the latest challenges at Happy Little Stampers-see below. I was inspired by Loll's card here and Kylie's card here, to create the card I am sharing today. It luckily fitted into this challenge so I have kept it until now to show you!
The butterfly stamp I used for this is from the Butterfly Birthday set from Happy Little Stampers

Our Guest Designer for this challenge is the very talented Ashwini. I have admired her cards for a long time. Her blog Experiments With Card Makings is a real delight to visit and I can assure you that just a little browse here will leave leave you inspired to create!
Our DT have all made fabulous cards inspired by this phrase. Pop over to Time Out and take a look and then kick back and get inky xx
