Animated Banner for "Club Thread"

Sam from Club Thread requested a "Let it Snow" banner for their upcoming January stocking. Ideas included:
*cozy things: knit goods, hot chocolate/coffee cozy, scarf, socks
*sparkley snowflakes
*winter sports/activities

All such fun ideas that I had a hard time deciding on just one. :)

Here are three different banners:

Spoonflower Contest: Snow!

Spoonflower is an amazing company where users upload designs and the company turns them into beautiful fabrics, available for purchase by everyone!

We've finally decided to be brave and enter our first contest at Spoonflower. Theme: Snow.

I LOVE the Retro Snowflake Tree design I created in November and thought it would make a gorgeous fabric. I created 5 more colors for a total of 9 different colored trees. My awesome husband suggested placing some of the trees upside down. I made the background a very light blue and added larger, matching snowflakes for greater contrast and depth to the design.

Retro Snowflake Tree

New printable design now available!

Inspiration for my Retro Snowflake Tree came from the trees in our front yard and the beautiful snow falling at country cottage this time of year. I wanted to incorporate some retro-type colors and learned a new technique in Photoshop to create the gradient color burst. :)

I'm very happy with how it turned out! I think I'll be using it as part of our family Christmas cards this year.
