This is my design card for my CHNC challenge 413 - please click on the link to find out what it's all about and I hope you'll be able to join in with your Christmas designs - anything goes as long as it's Christmas with the optional theme of 'make your own background'.
I didn't say anything on here last Saturday, but my dear husband died in hospital on 11 November. I'm trying to get done the things that need to be done, but not sure whether I'll be able to make enough Christmas cards to be sent this year. I've got some commissions that I need to get on with (although people aren't pressing me at all), not all of them Christmas. At the moment, I'm just getting through each day.
I made the background by randomly inking an Inkadinkado snowflakes stamp with versamark and heat embossing with detail silver powder. The centre was heat foiled with holographic silver on my todo using one of their doily letterpress/foiling stamps. This was raised up with a couple of layers of 3D foam, as was the 3D snowflake in the middle (from The Works).
This isn't a good photo because I didn't make the card till last night and either got too much glare from the flash or too little of the silver showing up.
