Blue Christmas

For this card I've used a fancy fold card and components from the Kanban 'all wrapped up' kit. The picture of the snowman is glittered in places and is overlaid with the spotted vellum held in place with the four brads.

I'm not really happy with it because I should have cut the snowman picture etc to better fit the upright of the card blank - I'll know better next time!



This is for:

Holly jolly Christmas: bingo - I chose: glitter, free, blue (also used brads)
Christmas card challenges week 31: monochromatic
Winter wonderland: monochromatic
52 Christmas card throwdown: anything goes
Christmas crafting July 13: two or more folds
Card crafters circle 29: construction cards
Fussy & fancy 66: fancy folds
The squirrel and the fox 21: Christmas in July
Dare to be sassy Thursdays 131: Christmas/holiday challenge - sparkle and snow
