White Christmas Challenge

There is a White Christmas challenge at Chocolate Baroque with a prize - a voucher to spend on some of their gorgeous goodies.  I decided to go with something fairly simple because some people don't really like cards to be too elaborate.  The background was printed from their Seasons Greetings CD with the text added on the computer.  The image is from a CB stamp set, stamped with distress ink and the colour pulled into the roof area using a water brush.  This was then glittered to look wintry, cut out using a Nestability label die and a little Distress ink brushed around the edges.  The little glittered wooden reindeer was a lucky find recently.

  7. That little reindeer just finishes it beautifully & I love your use of blue. I like the elegance of this - just good traditional scenery with a slightly modern twist of blue - but it also gives that cool feeling you need/associate with snow.

  13. Beautiful card, the blue is very wintery and I love that background from the CD - funnily enough, I've used it in red this year.

    Thanks for taking part in the challenge.
