So, I just got back from a few days away and rather than put all the stuff away that I have accumulated over those few short days, I decided that I needed to get my second card made for the latest Jingle Belles prompt JB:03:13: Ho Ho H2O which is to feature icicles, snow, frozen lakes etc. That long card list is calling and anyway, I don't want to bail out on my weekly feature after only a few weeks :-)
I again decided to make the paper work for me with another simple design. The paper features trees in a snow landscape with lots of sparkle and plenty of snow flakes. A blue mat, some long forgotten Doodlebug ribbon and a clear snowflake finished it off and I'm calling it done.
I'm hoping to manage more than one a week for the next few weeks but this will do for now!
I wondered about adding the title "In the bleak mid winter" to this card - too sad?
It's beautiful, I could see this being great for a winter birthday card too :)
ReplyDeletei ♥LOVE♥ the card (another brilliant use of what you have!!!) and also looooove the sentiment idea, but i think i'm going to agree with sandra to hold off, since this card could really be ANYTHING from a regular xmas greeting to a thank you to a winter birthday! (we american types like to hedge our bets, as they say!!!) ps: have to admire someone who puts papercrafting above unpacking... a girl after my own heart...) :)
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful card! Great take on the challenge! I need to play catch up on JB.
ReplyDeleteLove that snowy landscape ... so very peaceful ... always glad when you join us at jingle belles.
ReplyDeleteLovely card - but I'd rethink the title too - something more tranquil would be more fitting in my mind's eye.
ReplyDeleteLove that shade of blue! Always beautiful cards here :) Speaking of cards...I had a pleasant surprise in my mailbox this week from you! Such a gorgeous card and I enjoyed what was inside. Thank you so much! I've decided not to participate in JB this year and think I'll take the easy way out with photo cards - been a while since we've done a family photo shoot and that's on our to do list this year!
