It's 25th November which means that it's exactly 1 month until Christmas. I have been a little awol this week...with good reason...I've been in Disneyland Paris! My Hb and I took darling Daisy on a 5 day trip. It was am-az-zing and the whole resort was decked out for Christmas. It truly was Winter Wonderland.
I have over 300 photos to sort through and I will share some posts but today here are just a couple..
On Main Street it even snows! My card today just had to feature snow. We were so lucky with the weather, 2 days with crisp blue skies and the rest of the time was dry!
I took some Broken China oxide and built u p some layers on some watercolour card which I then embossed using a snowy folder.
I die cut some Tim Holtz snowflakes and then added more gesso and glitter and stamped his great retro Merry Christmas sentiment.
I then put on my creative hat to make my card

My card was made for the following challenges;
The Funkie Junkie 12 tags of Christmas #8
If you would like to play along with Linda's challenge you can see all the rules here. There are some great prizes for the winners too. The challenge is generously sponsored by The Funkie Junkie Boutique Linda shares a tag each week and you just have to take something from it and make something Christmas themed. I have always chosen to make cards and it's a great way to make 12 very unique cards for Christmas.
You can also combine it with any other challenges...so that is just what I did.
This is her card for week 8 here. I took the snowflake embossed background, the large die cut snowflake and flag style sentiment to use for some of the inspiration in my design.

A perfect creation for our Allsorts theme this week Jane, many thanks for joining in. Makes me want to go to Disney again, not been for a year or two and don't remember the 'snow' in Paris, but do remember how odd it was to be so hot in Florida with Christmas trees all around.

I didn't realize Paris looks so much like Florida :) Good for you for creating so many happy times for the little one!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful background and snowflakes. Thanks for taking the time to link up with us at Dies R Us Challenge Blog. We hope you will join us for future challenges.
