Crafty Gals Challenge Debut Card

 Inside Sentiment:

Welcome to the Crafty Gals Challenge Debut!  The Crafty Gals are a group of bloggers who will participate in monthly challenges, posted on the 5^th of every month.  We also chat on our favorite site—SCS.  Melina organized the group and I know it will be a nice, welcoming environment for us Gals to come and feel comfortable.

For our first post and the December challenge, Melina posted the following:  THE POWER OF THREE!  Make a holiday card keeping the number 3 in mind. Everything on your card has to be in 3's. 3 layers (card base does NOT count as a layer), 3 stamped images (or an image with 3 things on it), 3 embellishments (3 buttons, 3 ribbons etc. or 1 ribbon, 1 pearl, and 1 brad etc). Not 1 Not 2 Not 4....Your minimum is 3 and your maximum is 3!  Oh yes, and no words or sentiments on the front of your card. Your sentiment must be on the inside. So, if you're making a Christmas card, you must tell them Merry Christmas on the inside, not the front!

I was able to ink up a new stamp set—Tailored Expressions Winter Wonderland--and the matching snowflake die set.  It is a great stamp set and I love how the dies work with the various snowflakes in the set.  I know it will be used more in the future.  The sentiment on the inside of the card is from the same fun set.
