Inspired by the Funkie Junkie week 9

Hello there! How are you? Good I hope! Well I did something yesterday that I've been toying with for a while .... I took out membership of the Great North run - that means that I get a guaranteed place for the next three years! Woohoo! I'll still be able to fund raise but not have to have a certain target to reach - which will considerably relieve the pressure at a time when things are tough! I just hope its not something I live to regret!!!

Well today I've made a card inspired by the thefunkiejunkie-12-tags-of-christmas challenge week 9 that you can see by following the link. This is a fabulous challenge and is sponsored by the thefunkiejunkie boutique. I've taken inspiration from the blue and silver and the flowers and hearts - I think thats about where the similarities end!

 

I made the background using faded jeans and tumbled glass distress inks blending them together using cut and dry foam. Then I did some stamping with a script block - in stormy sky and dried everything. Next I used versa and some sparkling silver wow powders to create the snowflakes then cut the flower using tattered florals and the leaves in tims foil tape from the tattered leaves. The hearts are wooden shapes that I've had for ages - about three years - I coloured  them with a silver ink pad. The Merry Christmas is a peel off!!!!

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
