Christmas shades of blue

'Shades of blue' is today's facebook Sunday's with Santa theme and for my card I've used the lovely Shelly's image 'all wrapped up snowman', coloured with copics and a blue glitter pen for the lights, which are for Christmas cards all year round for June: twinkle twinkle Christmas lights, also for Crimbo crackers 17: decorations. Shelly's terrifically thrilling Thursday challenge this week is 'blingage', so this is also for that.

The mixture of blues is also for this Winter wonderland photo inspiration:


I've used the sketch for Techno stamper's Monday lunchtime 224:


The papers are from my offcuts box and the silver mirror card are also offcuts, so this is another for Pixie's crafty snippets 24 and also for Hiding in my craftroom 49: super scraps Saturday.

They say the camera never lies, so why is it that the silver mirror surround of the sentiment looks wrong on the bottom corner on here whereas IRL it's OK?


This is also for:

Sparkles forum Christmas June 17: monochromatic
Crop stop 75: monochromatic is in
Truly madly crafty June: monochrome
Hooked on craft June 21: all that glitters
Party time Tuesday 71: royal challenge - sparkle, bling, shine
Top tip Tuesday 78: sparkles galore
Card caravan (the hybrid chick) 21: clean and simple
ABC Christmas: K for keep it simple
Deep ocean 27: sewing
Frosted fabulous Friday: stitching
Sweet stampin: all stitched up
Christmas stampin all year long 14: anything goes
Digital Tuesday 163: anything goes
Papertake: anything goes
