Brrrrrr!!!

Another 'Blue Peter' card because the craft desk has construction work going on on top of it!

After embossing a piece of pearlised card with a 'snowflake' folder, it was layered onto pink then layered onto the card base.

The 'trees' were just triangles cut from some pink paper which I think was free in a mag about 3 years ago!
I gave the trees liberal helpings of  Stickles to give them a bit of sparkle, then layered the paper (cos it was quite thin) onto the scraps of pearlised card.

The rest of the card was torn and layered onto the bottom and the little foam snowman slipped in between the two layers. More stickles liberally applied to make the snow on the ground sparkle!

I tied some pink and white twine round his neck for a scarf! (Won't keep him very warm will it???? LOL)

The sentiment was PC generated and secured with a sparkly snowflake button.

Am off to do some 'labouring' for the 'builder'.... OH assures me I'll be putting stuff back onto shelves in the next day or two... hope so- as I'm beginning to get 'Crafter's Withdrawal' symptoms....... 
have a great day and will visit you all later. x

I have decided there are far too many Blue Peter cards in your collection.

Envy isn't a nice trait .. .. but I am starting to develop it .. . eeekkk!!!

Cute card. Love those trees and the embossed backround.

I hope you have a good weekend.

Love Jules xx

Hello Viv!! Just popped over to say thank you for my lovely card (the blue word stamping is very effective - now why have I never thought of that?) and the hanging - clever you stamping on metal, I never have much luck with that.

I lpve that card as well and see I should also thank you for joining us at TioT!!

Thanks again for thinking of me on my birthday, helped to make my day. Cindy xx
