ANOTHER TRADITIONAL CHRISTMAS CARD !!!

Hello there blog buddies - I hope you are all well and crafting whenever you can.  Sorry I haven't posted for a few days but I am totally incapable of doing a card every day - I have tried (very hard to be honest) but I just cannot do it!  I did pop over to a few blogs but not as many as I normally do.  Anyway I am back now and am posting another card for my ex-colleague - this one is for his daughter.  I did try to colour the image non-traditionally but I was disappointed with the result so I started again!!!!  I am my own worst enemy!

Here is the card for you to have a peep at

This is the inside of the card - yup I have decorated the inside again!!!  I'm getting better! lol.  I was going to cut out a circle but changed my mind and used the bauble ornament.  I used my laptop for the sentiment and then used the die to cut it out.  I left it in the die whilst I stamped a few random snowflakes in blue chalk ink.  Once they were dry I put a few 'blobs' of Stardust over them to make them sparkle.


The next one I am making is in non-traditional colours.  I have already coloured the image and am quite pleased with it - therefore (at this moment in time - ooh I nearly started trilling then) I am not going to change it.  I do love my LOTV images and keep using them.  I have printed some digi-stamps from the internet (freebies) and may be using one or two of them soon though.

Ingredients
 
Card Base - 7 x 7"
Papers - HOTP Paper Pizzazz and First Edition
Dies - Spellbinders Circle and Scalloped Circle, Christmas Ornament 2011
Image/Sentiment - LOTV
Poinsettia from bit box
Ooops nearly forgot - snowflake charm is from my stash!
Promarkers
Stardust!!!
Gems - stash

Take great care of yourselves, I hope your weekend has been good and I also hope that you have a good week - especially if you are able to craft or shop for crafty goodies - yay!!!
 
Big hugs to you all out there in blogland.
 
SUE

    Hi Sue, this is a really fantastic card and your colleague will love it. The layout is great and the backing papers are lovely. The snowflake charm is a nice touch. I try to post every day although I don't always manage it, but that is only because I do some extremely simple cards. If I'm doing something special then it seems to take me forever. It's the procrastination thing - and you know all about that! LOL! Love from Christine xx

    Hello Sue. Your card is gorgeous. I love that sweet image, no surprise there I know considering it LOTV. The colours and papers are beautiful and the inside with the sparkly bits on the sentiment looks fabulous.

    Hi Sue,
    fabulous card. I love the image, and so superbly coloured in I may add. Great design and I love those holly leaves too. I bet the person receiving this is going to love it.
    How is your pigeon doing after I said no grain for him after not picking me. I'm really sorry if hes a tad hungry. I feel extremely cruel now.lol.
    Door stops are still doing a fab job, love all the daisies on them.
    Have a wonderful crafty day .
    Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.

    Hi Sue, this is fabulous, I so love traditional cards and this style is my favourite! LOTV images and pretty papers and embellies, who could want for more! I'm with you about posting every day..when I started to blog I used to think I had to...uh...soon learned that was impossible if I wanted to post my best work and have to relax time outside work! If I have some backed up, I'll schedule but every day, especially this time of year is impossible! Hugs, Carole Z X
