Christmas Flap cards and a SALE at Sweet Stamps

  This week at the Sweet Stamps Challenge we are making Christmas Flap  Cards.

 The tutorial for Flap cards is HERE in the resources section of Splitcoaststampers.
Here is a close up of the flower:

  I added just a 'smidge' of Creative Inspirations Fairy Dist paint and water to the distress ink when painting the flowers.

Here are the Sweet Sweet Supplies I used to make my card:
