Another journey yesterday - this time on the train - to a meeting a couple of hours away. Home at a reasonable time late afternoon so found some 'me' time (much needed) and made a couple more cards!
All Christmas ones and here is yet another inspired by something which I must have seen somewhere else at some time or other!
This is my take of a Christmas Moonscape! (I resisted the urge to put an earth in the sky!)
I used -
basic bright white smooth card, then added a layer of dark grey. Another piece of white cut to layer on the top and a rectangular aperture cut in the middle.
Two snippets of white card cut with a landscape die and the trees/houses snipped off! I used Salty Ocean, Broken China and Tumbled Glass DI's and inked the snippets, then took 3 scraps of patterned paper and cut into slim triangles, tucking them in between the two inky bits.
A white gel pen dotted randomly in the 'sky' and a little Diamond stickles added to the 'hills' and round the edge of the aperture.
SU sentiment stamped in Smokey Grey.
Now that the dead rockets and ash mess has been cleared up after the Bonfire Party I am calling in at the Snippets Playground.

Welcome back to earth Viv! Love this card...so cool in every way and very creative.
Simple and effective design. I might need to make a few quick cards for Christmas so that I'll get to the number I need, this is a great design idea for a quick card... I normally wouldn't say this kind of design is quick, but since you already figured out a design it will be to me in that case....
Wow, love it, sorry but so late tonight and I want to watch Question Time.

This is a lovely fun card and a beautiful modern design Viv. I love the dark night sky and the snowy slopes with the three trees in the nice light coloured papers which contrast beautifully with that dark background. x
Thanks for entering our Christmas Card Challenge this week and good luck!
