A Little Christmas Crafting

So I'm back to crafting now. I gave my crafting area a bit of a clean up yesterday and got down to a bit of card making.
Now normally at this time of the year I have a nice pile of Christmas cards made as I used to design for the 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown. Sadly I had to give that up but I do miss making Christmas cards and using all my gorgeous Chritmassy stamps.
So I decided to make one using the theme from this weeks 52{C}CT 'Snowman'. Here is my card


Although this looks quite clean and simple it took ages to make! This is also the second attempt as the first went a bit wrong! I stamped the snowy ground first using Versamark ink and clear embossing powder. The snowman from White Christmas was stamped, coloured and embossed too so that I could make a mask and sponge the blue background. Some gems were added for stars and a simple greeting from Good Greetings to finish it off.

Dad's funeral was earlier this week so things are still a bit strange. Me and mum are trying to find a new normal now but we still have a lot to sort out - you know clothes and books etc. Hopefully that won't take too long because we've booked ourselves a holiday for the end of August to help recharge our batteries!!

Thanks for looking today - see you soon xx

Love the swoosh of embossed snow, the lovely sponged background, the glimmer of stars and the pop of the red - great work. Hopefully, we'll see you back here playing along with 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown xxxx
