Noel

I have a new card to share today.

 

A little while back, I left a comment on Christina Griffiths' Blog and I won a prize - it was a Die Cutting Essentials magazine, which included a free die set.

It took a little while to get here .... all the way from the U.K. and this weekend I have had time to have a quick play. 

 

 

Inspired by the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #577, I used the snowflake & Noel from this free set and combined it with a Spellbinders Snowflake I already had. I die cut everything from silver holographic card & layered with black card to add dimension.  A strip was cut from black leathergrain cardstock scaps.  I thought the plain white background was a bit too plain, so I used some black, grey & silver inks to do some paint splatters, with a final touch of teeny tiny stars for some bling.

 

A Christmas Card fits in with the Happy Little Stampers AG Christmas Challenge , and the Christmas Crafts All year Round March Challenge of '3 red hens' or 3 of anything dictated the number of snowflakes .... all in all, the card came together relatively quickly.

 

         

 

 

The 52 Christmas Card Throwdown March Challenge of Black & Silver inspired my choice of colours, but sadly, I was too late to link my card up  (I will leave the link anyway - go visit and check it out)
