Blue Christmas!! Using Rachel Anderson's Snow Fae

Wow two Christmas cards down and it's only August!!! LOL! Not sure what happened to my "I'll make a Christmas card a week resolution - I think it might have run off with my I'll lose two stone by August one! Anyway, I've made this card for this weeks challenge over at Sweet Pea Stampers which is Blue Crush. This is my first appearance on team B since we've gone weekly, so I really hope that you will be able to join us. We have a fantastic prize this week, a grab bag of three Sweet Pea stamps which have kindly been donated by our sponsor Lynette from Sweet Pea Stamps.


I've kept this card relatively simple as I didn't have time to faff around finding co-ordinating papers and a fancy layout, so I dug out my trusty Distress Inks, Promarkers and white gel pen and set to work! I hope you like and don't think I've been too lazy :)

Tools
Big Shot
Texturz Snowflake Embossing Plate

Materials
Image - Snow Fae
Distress Inks - Weathered Wood, Stormy Sky & Broken China
Promarkers
