Good morning lovelies - hope you had a good weekend? Mine was just fabulous - we picked up my MIL who is just such good company and brought her home for Christmas - and then yesterday we all did the long walk up the hill in Clapham, North Yorkshire to go and see santa in Ingleborough cave - a fabulous walk and a really magical visit - just lovely!
Today I've got the card I gave to my mum and dad for Christmas to show you - it features two stunning images from Mo Manning - I just adore them:
It also includes that chocolate baroque snowflake stamp free with craft stamper that I just can't seem to get enough of! I used it to create the snowy background by using versa mark and snow white embossing powder and heat setting then covering with pan pastels. The images are both coloured with promarkers - I've used spellbinders snowflake diecuts and also a heart circle. In the middle is a verse to mum and dad but the light has meant it doesn't show - because of the flash! The blue roses were from Nat's candy - thanks again Nat - I've touched them up with glitter to add to the frosty effect.
