Back to Christmas Crafting

By
It's Saturday and that means it's another challenge at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown. This week we want to see cards depicting Christmas songs


There are some specific rules concerning this challenge so please do check out the blog for all the details. Meanwhile - here is my card


The song I've chosen is my favourite carol - 'In The Bleak Mid-winter' and I look forward to singing it every Christmas.
I have brayered my background with blue ink (Brocade Blue and Baja Breeze) and covered the snowy ground with some clear Rock Candy Distress Stickles. My trees are from Lovely as a Tree and have been stamped using Chocolate Chip and Crumb Cake ink. To finish I added some ribbon, sparkly snowflakes and some blue bling.


The team have come up with some stunning cards to show you this morning so please do pop over and say hello and I will see you soon - Jacqueline xx

    I love the way your card turned out! Amazing stamping and I like the moon, it's just perfect! Lovely as a tree is one of my favorite stamp sets, I don't think I'd ever part with it.

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr
