Snowy scene


I have no shame about making Christmas cards all year round! I've had this stamp a while, but not been quite sure how to use it.

Nacho's sketch this week is deceptively simple, and it had me stumped. At the beginning of the weekend I prepped a list of open challenges that I like to follow and was mooching through my craft room thinking about what I could use. I was flicking through my files of stamps and came across this gem, suddenly a whole different take on the sketch, and a perfect tie in to Tis the Season's photo inspiration. Colour CASE'd, along with the snowflakes from Rocky's card at CASE-ing Christmas. 

Simple monochrome, with a little bit of sparkle - a nice way to join in for the first time at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown. Colour extended into the background with some clear embossed snowflakes for contrast.

    Love your card, and the embossed snowflake background, which you have tied in perfectly in line with the focal image xxx
