Oh yes...another Christmas card today and a smidgen of frost this morning to go nicely too!!
All of the papers on this card are from Maja Design's Vintage Frost pad (including the rather lovely Father Christmas). I usually feel like I am cheating if I don't colour an image but I've let myself get away with it this time because I made such an effort in other ways. For instance the snowflakes were die cut, frantaged and then layered and I don't usually faff about with twine and charms but it was really nice to have a fiddle!!
I also found some challenges that don't require colouring so am going to play.

(Brads, snowflakes and lace for me)

Anyway better fly, the blacksmith is coming at 8!!
Have a good one xx
