It's freezing here but I guess we have been lucky as we haven't had any snow unlike some areas of the UK
- hope you are all OK. So a blue Christmas card seems quite appropriate...don't you think!
I am having great fun using stamps that I haven't used yet - a sin I know but at least I have finally got round to it!! The Christmas tree is from the Christmas Flourish sheet by Elusive images/Graphicus, teamed up with a paper from the Artylicious Seasons Greetings CD rom.
The nestability however, is brand spanking new - Lacey Squares - a new firm favourite. I have edged the squares with Tim Holtz Distress ink - Stormy Sky and then stamped the sentiment a couple of times.
I am entering this card in the following challenges:-
Christmas Stampin All Year Long - Anything Goes(can't link to the actual post!)
Crafty Catz - Christmas,
Fussy and Fancy Friday - Christmas no red and green,
Bah Humbug! - Feeling Blue,
The Stamp Man - Christmas and anything Tim Holtz,
Die Cut Dreams Christmas Challenge - Die Cuts,
Pollycraft Monday - Blue,
Simon Says Stamp and Show - Distress Inks,
Simon Says Stamp Challenge - Let It Snow,
Alphabet Challenge - E = embossing (heat or dry),
Allsorts Challenge - Monochrome,
Fab 'n' Funky - Anything Goes, and,
