It's time to seriously get on with making Christmas cards, so I'm glad to see that a few challenges are spurring us on!
This card is based on the sketch for challenge 18 on Allsorts:
Allsorts also called for the card to be based on a colour combo, so my choice is bright red and turquoise - not colours I would often put together, but I think it's worked.
It also covers these challenges:
Winter Wonderland 15: Frosty the snowman (sorry - a bit late for this one)
One stop craft 46: Let it snow!
Paper Cutz 9: Christmas with LOTS of bling!
Because I need to make a lot of Christmas cards, I recently bought a kit of Christmas concept cards from QVC, although I prefer not to use it in the prescribed way, but take bits and pieces and use them in my own way.
Unfortunately, because this is a scan and the light is too poor to get a flash photo, the 'bling' of the foiled card doesn't show up as it does irl. It is a much richer, brighter red foil with cold foil swirls and the surrounds of the circle and sentiments are foiled with a bright turquoise. Also, the snowflakes are glittery.
I'm adding this photo taken in daylight that shoes the mirror card a bit better:
