Tis the Season to be jolly

Good morning my friends how are you all doing this morning.

I looks like we are having another lovely day today.

It were really lovely yesterday.

I were feeling really good yesterday I thought I would have a change

so I have been stuck in the house for 6 months and we have a new hairdresser's

opened up across the road so I thought I would give them a try.

WOW did I go mad I had 10inc cut off my hair into a short bob.

But I have to say I feel loads better for it.

For today's card I have used Phill Martin's snowflake paper pads 

and his wonderful snowflake stamps.

And the snowflake dies are from Sue Wilson.

I Started with a 8"x 8" white card which I cut a mat out

of Phill's snowflake pad.

Then I cut a white mat that I stamped the corner stamp onto

two oppressive corners.

Next I cut a smaller mat with the same sheet from Phill

but this time I used the back side of it.

I then Cut a smaller white mat which I stamped and embossed

the large circle snowflake stamp.

And then I stamped and embossed the mini sentiments also

from Phill.

I cut out the snowflakes and I then went over them with a

embossing pad and I embossed the with a winter sparkle

embossing powder.

I added them to the top and bottom opposite corner's.

To finish with by adding some pearls to the centre of the snowflakes.

That's all for today and I thank you for stopping by.
