Snuggle up in your Christmas jumper with Visible Image

Good morning...brrr the weather really has become more wintery hasn't it. Winter is definitely fast approaching. I kept this in mind for my fortnightly blogged design team make for Visible Image and decided to make a card using the awesome

Christmas jumper

 and coordinating die 

with the Mulitverse stencil 

to make a Christmas card. Now is a really good time to start getting your Christmas card stash made and this card is quick to make and even to batch make. 

This is what I got up to;

I stamped the jumper, adding the snowman and Let it snow sentiment inside, onto white card. Using the coordinating die I cut it out.  I also stamped 2 more "let it snows" onto a scrap of white card and cut them out.

Using distress pencils I added a little colour. I then added some glitter pens details to the snowman which you will see in the final photos.

I used a square of card with some inky left overs on and using Glitz craft glitter paste, spread it through the multiverse stencil to make this frosty background.

I distressed the edges of the sentiments and the background using my Tim Holtz  distressing tool. 

adding some ink around the edges to make them pop.

I matted the the background onto white and then blue card

I then adhered my design in place adding Stickles glitter glue for extra detailing. 

Here is my finished card;
