Hello everyone, it's so hard to believe December is here, this year flew by so fast and Christmas is right around the corner. I hope you got a good start with your Christmas cardmaking but if not then there is a great mood board at the Four Seasons challenge that might help you along in creating some beautiful winter/Christmas cards. For the next 3 months our theme at the Four Seasons challenge will be Winter, the mood board is not required but a great starting point should you need one.
Last month I went on a shopping spree at Del Bellos Designs who is closing her
shop. She is/was a stockist for some UK brands such as Lavinia and Cardi-o
stamps and as she is selling many of the stamps at a great discount I could
not resist. Most of what I purchased were Lavinia stamps but this Cardi-o set
came up as *last one* and the price was right so it landed in my shopping cart
too :) It's my only Cardi-o stamp set.
I first stamped the snowman and bunnies using
Versafine Onyx ink then used a
homemade mask to create some hills and snowbanks. The sentiment is from the
Penny Black set Snow Fall. I wanted to
add some icy "greenery" and I decided to use a stamp from Lavinia Stamps set
Winter Foliage which was part of their
latest release. Some glitter and die cut snowflakes (Penny Black
Dancing Snowflakes die set) were added
as embellishments. I used blue cardstock as a mat and then a white card
base.

Hi Ellie, a beautiful Christmas card! You created a beautiful winter scene, adding light with glitter. The CAS style is always elegant and refined. Thanks for joining the C.R.A.F.T. Challenge! Tatiana x DT
Ellie this is just the cutest winter scene, a winter wonderland composed perfectly. I especially love the frosty glittered landscape, how it must sparkle.. magical.
Winter wishes Tracey
I absolutely love your winter scenery. The snowflake and his bunny friends make such a wonderful motif, and the icy greenery caught my eyes as a fantastic detail - just like the glitter on the snowy slopes and those wonderful snowflakes. I like the sentiment, too - fitting for many different occasions. Thanks for joining the Alphabet challenge.
Hugs, Veronika
