Ooh lovely Margaret - and I can see myself doing one of my snow angels in the middle of all that snow!! I used a stamp that I had for ages and had never used - so thank goodness for these challenges. Love the dies you have chosen to embellish your creation.

ReplyDeleteWOW! This is a real stunner Margaret and I love every little detail on it. I am on a ban to not purchase any more Christmas stamps as I already have a box and a drawer full but this image and that Distress ink pad are going on my wish list, as are the dies. The snow is fantastic, in fact it's a really beautiful card full stop Karen x
ReplyDeleteWonderful card Margaret. We have both gone for scenes in blue and white. Hugs Rita xxx
ReplyDeleteLove the colours and the snow effect! The punches are wonderful especially picking the blue for the evergreen-just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Margaret, love the blue and white, so striking and the image is just perfect. Your embellishments in the corner are beautiful, Kate x

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card for Christine's CCC challenge - I love it 195 - you could also enter this into my CHNC challenge extra for September - I'd love to see it there too. x
ReplyDeleteA beautiful winter wonderland for certain. Looks very peaceful, loved the lighted windows. Your falling snow is beautiful, and is so realistic. Loved the way you've framed the corners with the pretty pine branches, and of course, loved the embossed dots framing. Looked very Currier & Ives. (or should I say Dickens?) TFS & Hugs
