Challenge #377 ~~ Not Your Average Card!!!

The challenge at Shopping Our Stash is Not Your Average Card, I know everyone gets in a rut making the regular rectangle, square (one of my favs) circle or oval shaped cards so we want to take you far away from that "rut" so we want to see nothing in the regular card shapes we want odd shapes. Stars, hexagon, flower, pumpkin you could even make a extra large takeout coffee cup.  The design team member you can "give credit" to is ME it was my idea so get your thinking caps on and create a special non traditional shape card.

Before I tell you about the card I must mention we are at the lake for the week and going to close it up for the winter and I hadn't had a chance to work on my card so when we got the cottage warmed up I got all my equipment out and OMgoodness (not what I was thinking) I forgot my C plate for the cuttlebug, that's the CUTTING plate and I had Hexagons to cut. Well trial and error and many shims I managed the cutting of the shapes but was very happy to find those gold snowflakes in my "extras"

The image is a long retired set from Stampin'up but one of my favourites every Christmas. The patterned paper is ancient I think it is SU as well. 

Close up of the gold snowflakes, these were cut last year and not used. The rhinestones are also years old and I coloured them with an alcohol marker.

I added some wink of stella to hat, mitts, earmuffs and white trim.

Since I know odd shaped cards do not stand up well I will send a easel with it,  it is a die from Elizabeth Craft Designs and cuts out of a half of 8 1/2 X 11 piece of heavier cardstock.
