It would seem that I'm having another Christmassy week...it's been ages since I uploaded anything non-festive...and I'm afraid it's not going to change any time soon! Despite the fact that I started making this year's Christmas cards on Boxing Day last year...I still need more...and then there's all the presents I plan to make too! Today's card uses another of my favourite Penny Black stamps...'Snowy'...he's been rather neglected lately, so I thought it was about time he had an inking. I used my Cuttlebug 'Snowflakes', 'Snow Dots' and 'Ice Crystals' folders for the embossing, distressing the edges to add definition to the layers. The sentiment is from a Lili of the Valley set, which I embossed in silver, and mounted on a snowflake cut with my Cuttlebug 'Ice Crystal' die. And because every Christmas card should have some sparkle, I added some 'Ice Crystal' Stickles to the fur trim on Snowy's hat.
Challenges for this card:
Love all the textures and sparkle. Mary x
