This is the card I made - another one that came out almost as I had pictured it in me head!!! Might have been on a roll for a couple of cards!!!!
The snowflake border stops just below the edges of the ribbon, I snipped away at two partial die-cuts (the handmade glitter paper is notoriously difficult to die-cut) and then added them in at the sides, so that it looks as if it is a frame.
Ingredients
Image - 'Snowman' from Di's Digi Stamps (here)
7" x 7" White Card blank - Anna Marie Designs
Embossing Folder - 'Frosty Swirls' from Creative Expressions
Circle die - Die-namics Stitched Circle Stax
Snowflake border die (in silver glitter paper) - Create & Craft Couture 'Winter Flurries' collection
Sentiment - 'Let it Snow' clear stamp (an old one without a name unfortunately)
Snow blobs - Cosmic Shimmer 'Crystal' glue - goes on white and dries sparkly
Promarkers and Flexmarkers
Silver Glitter paper - old stash from an A5 pad
Ribbons - stash
Snowflake charms - Ebay
This is another theme that I really enjoyed so thank you Lorraine! I am just off to check over the other CCC blogs - I need to sort out how to put their names on my blog so that you can check them out too! Will add this to my ever growing list of things to do!
Thank you for stopping by my blog again, you are all stars. As usual, please take care of yourselves, I'm sending big hugs to all of you.

What an adorable snowman for this challenge Sue, a happy, jolly fellow. It's great when a card comes together like that - I'm struggling with one at the mo. Love the snowflake border, it makes a fabulous frame and I'm glad you enjoyed my challenge.

This image is a delight and so is your card! The silver glittered border is beautiful...I agree with Lorraine...it frames your image so nicely!
ReplyDeletePretty well sorted for the move now. Still a couple pieces of furniture to give away but will wait till the last week or so and enjoy them till then!
Your silver snowflake border really does frame it beautifully. Really cute image and a fabulous card. It's so nice when it comes out exactly how you see it in your head isn't it? Doesn't happen too often for me I'm afraid ... lol! Love and hugs Christine xx

Don't think I have ever made a card that I pictured exactly. They just sort of evolve so well done on yours. Love the silver border and your Snowman is rather a cutie. I need to sort out putting names on too. Hugs Mrs a.
ReplyDeleteLove it Sue, your snowman is gorgeous and beautifully coloured. I love the silver snowflake border and all your other sparkly bits, Love the colour theme too.
ReplyDeleteI've got all the other members on my page but don't go anywhere when they're clicked, mut learn how to do this too, hugs Kate x
Love this cheeky, cheery snowman. It's one delightful digi, and you've done him up proud. Your snippets of glitter surely made his snowy self sparkle brightly. That's a pain with that glitter paper sometimes, but it does create a wonderful effect. I'm liking that swirly emboss folder too. The beautiful red is marvelous with the snowy white and of course I love that stitched circle mat. Good for you on your fab win. Looks like you put the prize to super use! TFS & Big hugs.
