ABC Christmas Challenge - I is for...

I have another card for our current ABC Christmas Challenge for you today...where the theme is:

'I is for Icy Inspirational Photos'



We have two wonderful sponsors for this challenge:


From Simon Says Stamp - a $15 voucher to spend in their store!


From In 2 Stamps - a €10 gift voucher to spend in their store!

This time, I took my inspiration from the second photo...and those adorable penguins, using a Lili of the Valley stamp 'Igloo for Two', which I coloured using watercolour pencils...adding some sparkle with 'Diamond' Stickles . I kept the background all white and icy, embossing plain card using my Cuttlebug 'Swiss Dots' and 'Snowflakes' folders...and Sizzix/BasicGrey 'Snowglobe' folder...glittering all the edges with Glamour Dust. The sentiment is also by Lili of the Valley, and the snowflakes were cut using Marianne Designs dies...and coated with more Glamour Dust.


I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:

    Totally gorgeous, Helen...every element is perfect. I think you must love your Cuttlebug as much as me, judging by your cards.
