So hard to think about Christmas cards in the heat we've been sweltering in over the last few weeks, actually it's quite hard to think about anything much! This card started out to be something completely different in shades of blue and silver...but this is how it ended up. The background paper is watercolour paper embossed with a few snowflakes and coloured with distress inks, sadly the white ep doesn't look very white! The stamp is Indigo Blue, I just used the top part of it I die cut the snowflake and sentiment from black glitter card.
Much as it seems a long way ahead now, there are only 4 more challenges until Christmas so you really might want to think about getting started on your festive makes....
Hop over to Sweet Stampin' now for lots of inspiration from my lovely teamies, we have 3 new talented ladies starting this month and I'm sure they'd appreciate a visit and bit of encouragement from you!
Thanks for visiting
Chris

Hi Chris,
what a brilliant colour card and I really do love that colour one of my very fave colours.
Beautiful stamping and designing also.
Thank goodness it was slightly cooler today the old brain doesn't seem so muddled. LOL.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
A really super card, gorgeous background and super image. I have that snowflake die and find it pretty hard to place on a card, yours looks great though.

Love your distress ink background Chris! The black glitter card is a gorgeous touch too. A fabulous Christmas creation and now you've said there's only 4 more CaSS challenges before Christmas, I'm in a tailspin! I'll never get enough cards made! LOL!! Hope it's starting to cool down a bit for you over there. We've had such a mild Winter, I'm dreading that we might have a scorcher Summer too! Give me the Spring and Autumn any time! Hugs, Wends xoxo
