Camped out in the craftie space today 'cos it's one of the warmest places in the house!
Started on a couple of cards for my stash but sadly only managed to finish one as the marching band decided to leave the drummer boy on his own in my head - I wanted to shoot him at one stage but there again the noise from the gun would probably only have made the banging head worse.....
Pearlised white card embossed with the snowflakes folder and layered onto dark blue card. Before mounting onto the base cardstock, cut out a large circle with a nestie, stamped the snowflake image and embossed with WOW Bright White Super Fine embossing powder.
I then cut out a scalloped edged frame and used two smaller circles to form a 'rim', layering them on top of both cut out circle and the frame so the snowflake is in the recess.
Some navy blue ribbon threaded through a die cut with a greeting stamped with Versafine Majestic Blue ink and then all mounted onto white cardstock.
I added some 'Star Dust' stickles to the snowflake and put a large crystal gem in the centre.
Quite pleased with this considering I was battling with the box of kleenex during the assembly process................. so maybe a CAS Christmas is the way to go this year!

Your CAS is so beautiful, I would certainly make all your Christmas cards like this.
Hope you feel heaps better by morning Viv. Had a laugh about the Grandsons pans :) I should maybe have blessed tyhem before I gave them to him....lol
Sadly his Girl only visits as she lives in the country she has a horse to care for so is rarely there at mealtimes, So I fear the pans are at great risk...only joking, he wouldn't dare! :o
