Retro, Colour Q, CAS-ual Snowflakes

I hope you don't mind if I combine a few challenges - time is at a premium these days and I really wanted to play along.

I have been trying to find time all week to use retro-sketches #40  - I love the linear, graphic design and really wanted to play with it.

I had a number of blue snowflakes hanging around my desk - they are leftover from another project I can't show you until next week, but when I saw the Colour Q Challenge #166 palette, I was happy to use them up.

The Simon Says Stamp challenge is to use snowflakes, so I am linking up there as well.

Finally, I saw the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge this morning to feature a knot.

CFC81: Create a Clean And Simple project that features a knot or knots.

I just have to point out that this is the first time I have successfully masked and inked 2 colors with a wood block stamp (yes, I know a few out there just gasped hearing I actually own a few wood block stamps knowing about my aversion to them LOL).

The card is pretty simple with a couple of sizes of Martha Stewart punches, a Penny Black stamp, Color Box Blue Lagoon Chalk Ink, Memento Nautical Blue ink, Fishtail Flag Die-namic, Really Reasonable Ribbon blue Baker's Twine, and a turquoise jingle bell rounding out the supplies.

Thanks for stopping by,
