This one is a mix of old and not so old items, the die to cut the swing card is new to me and the lovely snowman came from one of last years Christmas cards. It's blue and silver to comply with the new challenge we have at Christmas Craft Creations.
I cut the base card in white using the swing card die, it came with solid panel dies as well so I cut them in silver pearl paper. The blue snowflake pattern was a separate die set which I was lucky enough to get at the same time I bought the swing card set. The snowman was cut from an old card and as luck would have it he had a dark blue glitter band all the way around him.
The hardest thing was making sure I stuck the snowman on the correct side of the circle. A nice easy card to make, especially when you get to recycle parts of old commercial cards, gentle on the pocket too. When folded up it's a 5.75inch square so standard letter post.
Please come and join us at Christmas Craft Creations with your blue and silver projects, we'd love to see what you've made.

ReplyDeleteThis is a very cool cut of a card. I love the filigree used with the silver behind and the snowman is so cute. I like the dark blue glitter highlighting the snowman.
ReplyDeleteLovely card Rocky. I like the colour combination - it goes well with the image. I know what you mean about which side of the circle to stick the image to - I've been known to stick it to the wrong side in the past! Thank you for entering the "Cute" Challenge at CHNC.
