Winter Wonderland.

Late posting as I have a nasty bout of Cystitis

and have only just climbed down off the walls

for sufficiently long enough to sit at my laptop.

 

It is time again for another challenge over

at the Christmas Card Club.

This time is was for Christine to set the Theme

which is Winter Wonderland.

My thoughts went straight to silver and blues

and I knew  which papers in my stash

I wanted to use. The snowflakes is actually scraps of

old magazines pages that have been painted over

and then the snowflakes stamped randomly on top.

Not by me though.

I won some stash several years ago

from a German blogger who was de stashing

and these sheets were amongst the goodies I received.

 

I used SU grey card to make the card base.

Then layered up with silver holographic paper

(from Hobby Craft years ago)

and my favourite Navy pearlised  cardstock.

I edged round each  of the blue snow flakes on the paper

with  a white Gelly Roll pen and then dusted over

with Glamour Dust whilst the pen was still wet.

The Reindeer  was a left over from

a Kanban topper sheet called  'Winter Reindeer.

I gave his Antlers/legs the same treatment with

the gelly roll pen and Glamour dust.

Finally I glued blue gems to the antlers

and white to the snowflakes and printed the sentiment

from word.

I tried taking a picture with the card flat so you can

see the lovely sparkle from the gems

much better IRL.

 

I then had the  bright  idea of making another card as I thought

the snowflake paper looked good as a stand alone. 

This card took 3 times as long to make as it kept going wrong.

It did start out the same size as the first one! Enough said!!

 

Note to self. Quit when one is ahead!!

I woke up this morning and found I had missed

2 gems off the card and the Doc said I had

sparkly bits all over my nose.

Again I tried taking lying down (the card not me)

though I did feel the need to do so in a dark room afterwards

IRL it really does sparkle .

So does my nose!!!!

As I have used up loads of snippets popping over to Pixie's Crafty Workshop. #143.

 

P.s Hazel kindly invited me to also link up with her challenge so that's where I am off to now.
