Four Challenges in one :-)

I'm so proud of myself completing a couple of challenges today all in this one card!  I'm new to blogging and new to trying to complete challenges.  I thought I may have bitten off more than I can chew but I think I made it :-)

This card meets the requirements for

Freshly Made Sketches #76 - For the overall layout which says I can combine this with three additional challenges.

Crazy 4Challenges #176 - Use the negative portion of a die cut (C4C176). 

52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown - March Colour Challenge - Use the colors black, metallic gold and white.  

Festive Friday FFC03 - Use a snowflake element.


I went with a Christmas theme to help meet the requirements of a monthly Christmas Card challenge over at Splitcoaststampers but maybe I can't count that one there since one of the rules for #1 above was for only three additional challenges.  In any event, I love having the majority of my cards completed before the frazzled days of November and December roll around. 

It is hard to see from the picture but the card base is white with just a 1/4 inch showing all the way around the card.  The snowflake centres (the negative space) were made with a Die-namics die and the squares cut with basic sare Spellbinders Nestatiblitities.  The sentiment comes from one of my favourite CTMH sets, Holiday Commentary and it is embossed in gold. 

I had a lot of fun trying to combine all these ideas into one and I'm new at entering challenges so I hope I followed all the rules.  Thanks for looking!
