CHNC challenge 343


This is my card for my CHNC challenge 343 - please click on the link to see what it's all about and I hope you will join in with the challenge - it makes sense to get on with Christmas creations while there is plenty of time to enjoy doing so without any panic ... and we are now getting towards the end of July.

The optional theme for CHNC challenge 343 is 'use an embossing folder'... but anything  goes as long as it's Christmas.

For my card I used a Delicious Doodles image called snowy postbox, colouring just the post box with a red spectrum noir pen, using a blender to make it look a bit old in places. I used a piece of holographic red mirror card with small stars all over it and ran it through an embossing folder by Embossalicious called 'let it snow'. The nordic woven ribbon, sentiment banner and flowers with pearls are from stash.

Not an easy card to get a good photo because of the reflection from the mirror  card, which looks darker than it is irl.
