A quick and easy Christmas card for Winter Wonderland Challenge

Good Morning all

I'm afraid I'm a little late with my post this time for the challenge at 

Winter Wonderland

Things are not going so well around here lately because of serious illness affecting my husbands parents and I'm afraid I've just totally fallen off the blogging bus!!

With hospital visiting and all sorts of other things going on as well I just seem to be on permanent catch up that never quite gets there - hopefully I'll get on track sometime soon but in the meantime I'm sorry for my lack of posts /visits : (

I haven't even been doing all that much colouring lately - I even think I've forgotten how to sometimes!!- but I can always die cut and quite enjoyed making this card - it was quite quick and easy to do

The lovely papers are called Winter Frost  and are from our sponsors this week

Anything Goes

I still haven't quite got into "proper" crafting mode after my fall - I'm still aching and sooo tired!

It was coloured with Spectrum noir Pens and mounted onto red card on a scalloped shaped card

 - and that was pretty much it! - a very easy card

We have a charming challenge for you at Winter Wonderland this week

Hi all

I'm here today with my DT card for the new challenge at

Winter Wonderland

it's my turn to host this week

and our theme is

How charming

I've had a bit of a week this week with one thing and another so was looking to make a quick and easy card - these artpads from LOTV always fit the bill for that - so I decided to use this cute snowman.  We also were lucky enough to be given some digi papers to work with by our sponsor this week

who are providing a 20 euro gift voucher to this weeks winner

MR Designs

I used faded jeans distress ink on the paper to tone it to a blue - it looks a bit rubbish in this photo - in fact the whole photo looks rubbish when I look at it closely : ( - but it does look much better IRL. - honest!!!

This is what I did

Image - LOTV artpad

Papers - MR designs

Distress ink - TH faded jeans

Tree dies - Marianne dies

Organza Ribbon - coloured to match with Spectrum noir pen BG04

Charm - a freebee from My craft heart ages ago - such a lovely online store which I miss!

Twine - MFT twine

Glitter - Stickles Diamond

Hope you'll come and join in with our challenge this week - we'd love to see your charming Christmas projects - less than 6 months to that big day now - just in case you needed a reminder he he

Hugs
