Let it Snow




 Good morning. Brrr, the change in temperatures has been a bit of a shock this week, it's dropped from really mild to freezing cold in a matter of days. Winter coat, scarf and gloves have had their first airing! I really am hoping that we don't see any prolonged bad weather this year- after slipping over and banging my head last year (hurt like hell and very embarrassing!) I'm nervous of icy conditions. Snow looks pretty through a window...and on a card but that's as far as it goes for me!

This fortnight our challenge theme at FAB'N' FUNKY is 

All that Glitters

so we're looking for some lovely sparkle on your creations- doesn't have to be Christmas themed but that's what I went for with my card.

I printed this sweet Mo Manning digi onto white cardstock then used circular nesting dies to cut around her and make the aperture in the centre. Coloured image with markers, inked the sky with  Oxide DI then used Polkadoodle Stencil Butter frosting and a stencil for the snowflakes and snow. This is so pretty and sparkly IRL. I placed a piece of snow-printed acetate in the aperture and adhered to a slightly larger circle of silver glitter card. A stamped and embossed sentiment to finish.

There's more inspiration from my lovely teamies over at Fab'n' Funky so please do take a look- hope you find some time join in this fortnight.

Thanks for stopping by, keep warm and cosy!

Chris

  16. I like the design on this card, but I hope that girl isn't sad. She's very cute though. I think she's just very focused on the snow globe. Thanks for joining us at Try It On Tuesday. hugs-Erika

  20. The circular design really enhances the wintry feel, and the glittered snowflakes add such a magical touch. The way you layered the acetate with the silver card creates wonderful depth and sparkle that makes the scene come alive.
