Sketches! by Tamara #64

I had so much fun designing for the sketch this week!
When i first saw Tamara's sketch, i thought 'oh no it's circular, what on earth will i do with that'. After just staring at the sketch for several minutes, trying to decide how i would do it, this idea popped into my head!
I cut two 51/2" circles from white cardstock, and another from my Figgy Pudding 6 x 6 pad, all with the Cricut. I cut a portion from one edge of one of the circles and then placed the other on top, turned it over and made a score line on the other for the fold. Glue this part down, and then you have a regular opening card.
The Basic Grey paper was then glued on top. and scored and folded as before! I painted a Maya Road chipboard swirl with snowcap paint dabber and then glittered up with some glamour dust. I dabbed a small amount of paint all around the outer edge of the circle as well.
The gorgeous snowflake is of course a Cuttlebug cut & emboss duo, and i've added a tiny gem to the centre, the yummy pom pom trim is Bazzill and the sentiment is HOTP.

I would love to see what you can do with this week's sketch, so hope you can play along! Thanks for stopping by today, i do appreciate your sweet comments :)
