It's Christmas!!!!

Good evening I just wanted to pop by with this card, I absolutely love this Elisabeth Bell image once called 'Snowflake' when it was sold by Sugar Nellie and now called 'Ebony Snowflake Christmas' and sold by Elphine House Australia. Sorry I cannot link to Elphine House as there seems to be a problem with their online store.

So I have made three cards all slightly different but with the same papers and colours, a choice I don't think I have ever used before but really like it. I will post the other cards over this coming week.

6" Square Card Blank - Natalie & Amy's

Card Stock - Stash

Designer Papers - First Edition 'Silent Night'

Image - Elphine House 'Ebony Snowflake Christmas'

That's all for today.

My Time To Craft 'Christmas In June' Challenge

Good morning people it is lovely to have you here. It has been one of those week's this week where lots has been done but I feel like nothing has been achieved!

We are off to the circus this evening with the grandchildren and it should be really good as none of them have ever been before which really surprised me. I do think it is a shame that the real old fashioned circus has gone although for the animals I am really glad.

Anyhow this fortnight at My Time To Craft we are looking for 'Christmas In June', so you now have the chance to get ahead with all those cards that in November you are panicking about!! I went with this sort of old fashioned Christmas card, the papers have that old feel to them and the image which I adore is one that can be used in many era's. I coloured this in more traditional fashioned colours but just added a little bit of purple to mix it up. The ribbon is purple but on my screen it looks black so not sure what you are seeing, it could be the green card stock behind that is causing that.
