Hi again, it's very stormy outside so I'm hoping the power doesn't go off!
It's lovely to have more rain though as the place is greening up at last.
I was inspired to make this card by quite a few challenges.
Addicted to Stamps & More has a clean and simple theme.
AAA Cards has a blue christmas theme.
Cuttlebug Mania wants us to use a snowflake and a sentiment along with a manual machine like a Big Shot.
I used a snowflake embossing folder and a Memory Box die in my cuttlebug.
Inkspirational has a christmas theme with an optional twist of no red or green.
Simon Monday Challenge has a holiday theme.
Simon Wednesday Challenge has a Christmas/ holidays theme.
Supplies:
I used a borrowed snowflake embossing folder (not sure of the brand) and a Memory Box die, (I cut them out at my sister's place so I'm not sure of the name of it either!); distress inks; silver bling and a sentiment sticker.
Thanks for visiting,
