Christmas is coming


Someone mentioned to me the other day that they would soon have to think about posting their Christmas cards, I've hardly started making mine.
However after falling down a couple of steps in my hall yesterday and bruising my foot and a couple of toes big style, it looks like I will be house bound for a few days. So with the said foot propped up on cushions here is one of the cards I made.
I used Stamps by Chloe , the background is random stamped all over using Broken China distress ink.
There is a die cut circle under the garland,, not a lot of this is on show.
I embossed the garland stamp using fine metallic silver Wow Embossing Powder.
Ribbon and gems to the center  of the snowflakes came from my stash.


It is sheer co- incidence that  I will be able to enter this card in these challenges.
The Artistic Stamper - the November Challenge  theme is Christmas.
Stamping Sensations -the November Challenge is Christmas.
Addicted to Stamps and More- Challenge 70 is a Photo Inspiration, with blue/white and sparkly details.

Thank you for taking time to stop by, I do always appreciate your comments.

  7. Yvonne, I am so sorry about the fall and your foot but glad you aren't hurt worse, so scary. Take care of yourself and craft.
    Love this card, the sparkle is lovely and I love blue in Christmas cards. I too am on a quest to get my cards done so that I can get them ready to mail on time....for a change, lol. I am loving playing with some new digitals and old stamps and trying to give them details but still making them easy to mail.
    Hugs.....
