I made this card for this weeks Cute Card Thursday challenge which has the theme "Snow and Snowflakes". They have a gorgeous WOJ Herb stamp for one lucky entrant. I have used this cute stamp called "Mimi" designed by Janet - Pink Gem Designs. I am just so in love with her and she has the cutest face don't you think? The gorgeous papers are by Bo Bunny. I stamped the SU Trees by colouring the stamp with Marvy le Plume pens. The image was then stamped onto Basic Grey paper and then stickles added to the trees for a snowy effect. This doesn't show well in my first photo which is why I have shown you the extra tilted photo below.
I would like to thank Maria for sending me the gorgeous velvet ribbon used on my card.Do you like my Christmassy blog? Yeah, I know i'm early but the shops and town have their Christmas decorations up already so I thought i'd put my blog ones up too! I had great fun designing my blog banner in Photoshop. If you scroll to the bottom of my blog you can also see our family portrait ;-)!!!
Can't believe it's Friday already and less than 5 weeks until Christmas.. Yikes I still have another 19 cards to make! Maybe I should apologise now to my friends who may get a shop bought card.. I know.. tut tut! See you Sunday with my High Hopes Challenge card. I should tell you also that there is still a Diva out there with some yummy candy.. check out the links to the bottom right of this post!
Wishing all my friends and visitors a great weekend!
Hugs,
