Good morning all.
Hoping to spend some time in the craft room today...I have some Distress Oxides to test drive!! Never thought you'd hear me say this but yesterday I ended up in a garden centre with a craft department and after a wander around I discovered I didn't want or need anything...I had to have a lie down in a darkened room when I got home lol!

Kate has set us the challenge of "Snowy Mountains and Skies" over at the Christmas Card Club.
Note to self...re-read the remit before heading to the craft room. I only remembered the skies bit...sorry Kate :(

A rummage through my embossing folders yielded this Crafter's Companion folder...I was going to do a WOW but decided to add in some silver. The embossed piece was simply matted and layered using Spellbinders nestie squares. The snowflake die is also from Spellbinders and the sentiment is from STAMPlorations.
I did like the design so I repeated it in cream and gold! I'd like to say no machines were hurt during the construction of this card but my Grand Calibur decided to bite the dust...luckily SP are going to send me a replacement part FOC and I eventually managed to source some of the A4 plates for my Platinum so I'm fully functioning once more.
If you'd like to see what the other girl's have made you'll find their links on my sidebar.
Beautiful card Carol. I'm sure Kate will be delighted too. Not long till we meet again. Hugs Rita xxx

Very classy & I love this EF! (I did the same thing, only I picked up on the snowy mountains. Guess we read the challenge too fast, eh?) Worked out splendidly for your lovely card. Good luck with the repairs on the machine. Think my old already repaired Big Shot is on its last legs too. TFS & Hugs
ReplyDeleteHello Carol, two gorgeous elegant cards, lovely design and colours, love them and perfect for the theme, Kate x
ReplyDeleteIt's a great 'skies' card Carol and looks like your Santa ran off into my card or vice versa. Love the simple white with touches of gold. A super card. Zx
