I decided to include a few other challenges with that from My Time to Craft this week. I seem to have had little time for blogging or blog challenges for that matter, as I have been desperately trying to complete all my personal Christmas cards. It would be a defeatist situation as a cardmaker, to have to go out and buy some wouldn't it! Anyway, I have just about got there, so hopefully things should be on a more even keel soon.
The Creative Card Crew required Gold or Silver, and Crazy4 Challenges wanted the theme of Snowmen or Snowflakes. Over at a Spoonful of Sugar the theme is monochrome, so this is for that challenge too!
I used some gold, snowflake patterned vellum, secured with brads to which I added tiny pearls. The image is from Papermania (which I just bought for half price) and is heat embossed with gold. The sentiment was treated similarly and is from Docrafts.
I decorated the punched snowflakes with a little Glamour Dust.
A bit of good news is that I have found both my card cash box and my camera charger! How cool, is that! If I'd had a better memory they wouldn't have been lost in the first place!
Ooh is lovely and rich. Think a lot of people have been a bit scared of the detail on this set of stamps..I love 'em.

Absolutely beautiful card Chrissie and very elegant too. Glad you're nearly there with your cards, sadly I'm nowhere near but there is still time :D. Hope you're well. Chris :)

Gorgeous card. Do you find the postage is a problem now? Does the embellishment not mean you have to use large letter post? I was caught out with this yesterday and wondered if others have had this problem.
