First card, first challenge of 2015




First card of 2015 and a great one for making lots of quickly – something I’m always trying hard to find as some of the cards I make for Christmas take me ages to make & thus really not worth repeating.  But this little one is perfect.

I’ve a friend who just adores black/gold on any type of card so these were made with her in mind. It’s an A6 landscape card with black pearlescent paper backing and a shaped gold mirri paper cutout stuck on top.

Then the fun part comes – just using peel off snowflakes & stars along with anything else that goes with the design.

Finished off with some black peel off border to cover the edges and a peel-off greeting.  I’m coming down with P/O’s so it’s great to have a card that will use up a good few, but of course I went & bought yet more snowflakes – obsessed or what LOL!!!

Apologies for the photo - haven't got time just now to do my usual clean up of it - rough & ready but keen to get it up before anything else distracts me.

This is being entered into the Merry Monday Christmas Challenge which was for a card with snowflakes.
