Crafty Catz DT - Christmas in July

Hello lovely people,

Well here's to the end of another week! wow! where has July gone? I hope you've all been enjoying the weather and you're not all struggling too much with the heat. Well, just in case you feel the need to cool down, this weeks challenge at Crafty Catz is perfect for you! Set by Nina, she would like to see you all make a Christmas card - so dig out those wintery images and cool down as you get frosty and festive. We are sponsored this week by the lovely team at Bugaboo who are offering our lucky winner 7 images of their choice

So, onwards with my card:

We were kindly given some images to play with and I settled on this lovely. I coloured him with promarkers in the following colours: icicle, polar blue, cool grey 1, slate, duck egg, caramel, poppy, moss and apricot.

 

I edged the base of the card with versa magic sea breeze ink and stickles stardust. I then cut a circle of acetate from stash using my Nellie Snellen dies and ran it through my sizzix snowflake embossing folder.

 

I freehand drew and cut the base for the snow globe - attached both the front and back between two layers of card, added a hinge to the top and finished the whole thing off with some ribbon and a button from stash.

 

So there you have it. I do hope you like it and don't forget to pop by the blog to see the rest of the girls fab creations.

 

Until next time, happy crafting!
