Dreaming of a Pink Christmas

Hi everyone.  Today I'm sharing a Pink Christmas card. :)  As many of you know, pink is my favourite colour, so I just had to play along at Christmas Kickstart. :)  I'm a bit late to the party ... just haven't found my mojo yet after taking a long break from card making.  Today's card is a CASE of one I saw on-line.  Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out who made it as the watermark was missing.  I LOVED the design and copied it exactly, with one exception of switching out the original blue sky for pink. :)  Sometimes when I have trouble being creative, it helps to CASE a card to get me back on track.

One other thing, is it me ?? ... or have you noticed over the past few years, that many of the new thin die sets are full of teeny, tiny pieces.  This was a challenge to make because of the size of ... the windows, the door, the roof, the lamp posts.  But it all came together and I'm so happy with how it turned out.  There's also lots of dies within the set, so you can choose what to use in your winter scene (or use them all!). :)  I placed the finished snow globe onto a card base dry embossed with beautiful snowflakes.

As mentioned above, I'm sending this card to the Christmas Kickstart Challenge #106.  Thanks to Jo and her wonderful Guest elf Chris, for this fun challenge!  And because this is the first time using this sweet snowglobe die set, I'm sending this card to NBUS Challenge #82.

Edited to Add:  I meant to add another challenge - If You Give a Crafter a Cookie Challenge #212 - Cabin in Winter.  Mine is not a cabin, but a house ... hope that's OK.
