Celebrate the Season

Hi Bloggers
A Christmas card in July.

I had a mad moment and thought I would make a Christmas card or two over the weekend, as there has been so many shows and die releases over the last week or so.
Here is one of them using foundations sky blue and coconut white card.

 For the background I stamped some snowflake stamps from my stash with light blue ink and embossed with holographic WOW embossing powder. This was then embossed with CE Frosty Swirls folder.
I used Sue Wilson festive collection dies from last year. This is the Lattice Snowflake.
I used double sided adhesive  behind the die and sprinkled CS glacier Ice over it to give it an icy feel. ( I hope you can see the sparkle in the pics)
I added CE pastel blue pva around the frame of the die and added a bow with a snowflake and finished off with  a pearl.


I have entered this card in the following challenges:

    Hi Maria
    Love the non traditional colour. The pale blue is great for a different take on festive. Very pretty design and sparkle.
    Have a great weekend.
