Pink snowflake wreaths

Hello lovely people,

It's time for a new challenge at In The Pink and since October is breast cancer awareness month we thought it was only fair to have this theme...

USE A PINK RIBBON
(and of course, we still want to see more pink than any other colour except white/neutrals!)

We have a fabulous brand new sponsor this time; it's The Paper Nest Dolls who are very generously offering a $15 voucher to one winner chosen at random from our Perfect Pnkies

I have seen several beautiful cards on Pinterest with snowflake wreaths so really wanted to have a go myself.
I had a shabby chic style in mind for it...but despite having a HUGE stash of pink ribbon I simply couldn't find the right shade!
So I switched the DP for a bold polka dot so I could use this lovely little scrap of raspberry ribbon :-)

I layered the snowflakes up quite heavily to create a nice full wreath.  I had no particular plan for this, just made it up as I went along, although I did draw a circle on the DP to use as a guide to placing the first layer.

Now, I really couldn't leave the idea of a shabby chic version alone so I ended up making a second card!

This one doesn't have pink ribbon though as the twine fitted better with the shabby chic style

Oh well, at least that's another 2 Christmas cards made!
