Christmas Card Challenge

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

One of my favourite Christmas songs! It makes me feel toasty warm when i listen to it from inside my home looking out the window at the "frightful" weather as the song suggests.

I have been inspired to make this card as part of the November Challenge from Seven Hills Crafts

It features two little cute penguins sharing a gift in their snowy habitat!

 I thought about creating a cool shaker card using acetate and sequins with these little penguins inside to mimic snowfall. However, I just couldn't resist the glitter cardstock, which i think really makes the penguins stand out.

In the picture above, you can see all of the products i have used to create this card. I have also linked to the websites where i purchased my supplies from. Here is the list of supplies:

Penguins - Mama Elephant Love Quotes stamp set

Gift embellishment - Party embellishment from Poundland

Snowflake embellishment - Wooden snowflakes from The Range

Ink used for stamping - Versafine Onyx Black ink

Glitter cardstock - from The Range 

Stitched circle die - My Favourite Things Flop Card CircleDienamics 

Adhesive - Double sided tape from The Range and also double sided foam rectangles (Behind penguins) from Home Bargains

Cardstock - I used some pale blue cardstock that I had lying around and stuck it to the front of a piece of A4 240gsm white cardstock which i folded in half to make the card itself.

Some of the supplies may not be on the websites as some supplies i bought from in store. This was the case for The Range, Poundland and Home Bargains.

I really hope you like the card design. I am really looking forward to Christmas and making a start on my gift tags and cards. Christmas is my favourite time of year.

Let's hope it snows!

Bye guys!
