CHRISTMAS!!
Hello and happy Monday! Hope you all survived the second weekend of Advent. I hope I'm not the only one with Christmas cards left to make?! I can't make Christmas cards in November, and then before I know it, it's December with nothing made! Agghhhh!! Have to get my skates on and get more made, before I run out of Christmas supplies ;)
This week over at Through the Purple Haze Challenges, the theme is favourite Christmas colours, so it's perfect to get me making Christmas cards!! The sponsor this week is Digital Delights, offering a $5 coupon :)
Back in October my kind friend gave me some embossing powders. I wasn't aware of how many are out there! My most favourite of all is the Kaleidoscope embossing powder. It gives such a beautiful twist to the stamped image. This week, for possibly the fourth week running I used it!! :D
Here is my Christmassy card:
I made a DL cream card, using one of my favourite colours combo - red and cream. I photographed the card in the afternoon, and the light does no justice to it! I will try and get a better one while it's bright this morning.
I stamped the red panel with a snowflake stamp in white ink and then heat embossed over it. At the angle the photo above is taken, you can't really see the affect. Here is a close up:
I had a 'tag' cut out from some gold card that I layered it up with some printed paper, and placed the cute little reindeer on it.
I used some printed paper with the sentiment "Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year" repeated over and over on it, as the background.
Hope you enjoyed looking at my card. Why not give the challenge a go?
I have to get back to the craft table here, my little elves have taken over making cards - this is their favourite past-time:
I shouldn't worry about being short on Christmas cards this year!! EVERYTHING is being used!!! :D :D
Hope you have a wonderful Monday :)
I hope to enter this card into a few challenges.

Nothing like a few elves to help you out... I had several of my own whilst card producing this week :) The light, or lack of, is driving me nuts at the minute. My photos are just not working... Arghhhh. I have a list of things to photograph in the morning... ! Card is really lovely, I'd love to see the "real" thing, the embossing powders sound just perfect for what you were doing. Love to you xxxx
