No one could accuse me of getting ahead of myself when it comes to making Christmas cards, so I really had to get myself into gear when I saw a sudden rush of Christmas themed challenges around ... if i don't start now, then when ??I love this darling LotV praying angel - she is just so cute and tranquil, and always make me steer towards peaceful colours. I also always love to make angel wings sparkle, so I tied that in with some paper with sparkly embossed snowflakes on it, and some shimmery iridescent card to emboss with my Cuttlebug snowflake folder.
Challenges:
Create 4 Fun #27 - Sketch
ABC Christmas - N is for Noel
Fussy & Fancy Friday #14 - Christmas in July
Flourishes Timeless Tuesday #74 - Christmas in July
Corrosive #71 - Christmas Time
My Time to Craft #98 - Angelic!
Bunny Zoe's Crafts #1 - Nice & girly
Flutterby Wednesday #112 - angel, fairy or butterfly
Paper Sundaes #25 - White + one (one predominant colour - mine is aqua)
Recipe:
Main image: LotV, coloured wtih Promarkers and deoorated with pearls and glamour dust, inked around the edges;
Sentiment: peel offs;
paper: from my stash;
Supplies: Prima "Christmas Bubble" flower; large pearl brad from the Hobby House; pearl gems and ribbon from my stash;
Tools: "Labels One" nestabilities; Martha Stewart "arctic snowflake" edge punch; Cuttlebug "snowflakes" embossing folder.
It's not exactly my first Chrimbo card of the year, but not too far from it so there is still a long way to go ... ... :-)
