CHRISTMAS CARDS ALL YEAR ROUND - MAY - PRECIPITATION!


Hello there!  This month over at the CCAYR blog our theme is 'Precipitation' soooo we are looking for snowflakes, rain, snow, icicles or even snowmen - use your imagination!   Anyway here's my mid-month reminder card and I used this lovely pre-coloured image from an LOTV Art Pad, all I did was add some Stardust Stickles to the snowflakes.  This little Christmas fairy has a basket and 'crown'  of pine, ivy and holly so I chose the same sort of dies for the embellishments on my card.


This is another card to go towards my Christmas 'stash'.

 Ingredients

 Image - 'Christmas Angels' LOTV Art Pad Series 16
7" x 7" White Card blank - Anna Marie Designs
LOTV NitWit collection - 'Snow Princess' 8" x 7" paper pad
Scalloped Circle Layering dies - Tonic Dies
Trailing Ivy dies - Finishing Touches at Creative Expressions 
Holly dies - Festive Collection at Creative Expressions
Sprig with Berries dies - Elizabeth Craft Dies
Merry Christmas die - Apple Blossom Dies
Large Doily die - Unbranded dies

 We'd love to see your 'precipitatious' cards entered into our challenge this month, so why not join us over on the blog, and while you're there check out the cards that my teamies have made.

So - that's it for today I'm just off to finish my ironing (should have done it all yesterday but my back was really hurting so I gave up!).  

 Hugs to you all and please take care of yourselves.
Love Suexxx
