I think this will be my last post for a few days as we are hosting some neighbors tomorrow evening and then we have guests arriving for Christmas. I will be busy most of tomorrow creating the appies etc. Did all the shopping yesterday and today so most of the rushing about is done thank goodness.
I bought this stamp set recently and decided it was the perfect choice for the snow scene challenge at DD. Once the image was stamped I used pencils to add some colour and then I die cut a frame using some shimmer CS which I dry embossed. I had meant to dry emboss some snow into the image piece but forgot. Instead I added some Stickles glitter to denote a bit of snow falling. It really sparkles, but as always, it is hard to see in the photo. The sentiment pieces are from the same Colorado Craft company stamp set and I used them so if I want it to, it can become a winter thank you card.
Perhaps not one of my most imaginative card makes, but it works for the challenge and wasn’t a difficult one to do. Sometimes a cute and fairly easy card is what we need.
We wish you all a Merry Christmas followed by a Happy New Year. Thanks for all the comments this past year. They help make me a better crafter.
