Winter Blessings Ice Skates and Sled

Good morning!  It is cold here this morning thanks to a cold front that blew in this weekend.  We've gone from almost 90 degrees down to 50, so I'm enjoying the cooler temps while I can.  It will be a long hot summer before you know it!

There is a Spring into Christmas linky party going on this week over on the BYSHC blog, and I put this card together last night.  It's more wintery than Christmas, which is fine for this linky party.  All the entries must be Christmas, wintery, Yuletide, or Hanukkah themed.  I started by placing the Sparkles stencil from A Colorful Life Designs (use code HollyFan10 to save) over some blue cardstock and I spread some icy silver paste over the panel.  While the paste was drying, I die cut the sled and the ice skates (Spellbinders) and glued those together.  I also die cut the tiny snowflakes (Taylored Expressions) and stamped and cut the sentiment (Hero Arts).  After I assembled the sled, I glued the ice skates on top and added the tiny snowflakes and the sentiment.  I affixed the sled to the stenciled background with foam tape and then glued this panel to a white card base.
