Sorry.......

Did you think you'd call by to see a new card tonight,you'll be forgiven if you think you've seen something very similar a few days ago,my last post actually. Trouble is,don't you find sometimes that you really like a layout that you've used so you want to try it again but with a different theme? I thought when I made the Thank You card on Sunday that it could work using other punches,I tried using several different snowflake dies and punches but none of them seemed to work,I was about to give up on the idea when I remembered my lovely Cuttlebug Ice Crystal cut and emboss die,I thought it would be far too big but as it turns out,it was perfect.I added Diamond Stickles to the die cuts and I also used a snowflake embossing folder on the white squares. The "Let It Snow" I stamped using a blue distress ink,I know this probably wasn't the best choice of ink but it worked ok,it looks stronger in colour in real life,I think I'll keep a look out for a slightly larger version of this wording if I want to make it again as I think it looks almost like an after thought greeting.Maybe it would look better if I stamped it in Blue and used clear embossing powder on it.

I'm going to use this for the following challenges:-

Pollycraft Challenge 60,Christmas with no red or green,

Paper Players Challenge 14,Clean and simple,

Sweet Stampin Challenge 42,Winter wonderland,(I stamped the Sentiment)

Bah!Humbug! Challenge 34,Christmas Carol or Song, Let it snow!,

Do you Know of any other challenges I could use it for?

I've had several comments from people asking If they can use this design,I am happy for anyone to do so but would prefer you to be a follower so that I can take a look at your creations,yours might turn out far better than mine!,also I like to link any cards that I make back to where the inspiration originates from and I would hope that anyone who chooses to borrow one of my designs could do the same.

Thanks for stopping by tonight to look at my first Christmas card of the year,

Happy crafting,
