Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!

Good morning everyone! It's my first day back at work again since the holiday, of course there was tons of work waiting for me on my desk this morning, so no easing  back into it for me but full steam ahead! Today I have my first Christmas Cards All Year Round DT card to show you. The theme is a little different than usual, we want you to use at least 4 of the following:

Chipboard
Hand Stitching
Ribbon
Inking
Stamping
Textured papers
Metal embellishments
Alphabet stickers or rubons for the sentiment
Stripes

Here is my take on the challenge:




Can you tell which elements I've used? If you manage to make five Christmas cards following our theme this month, you will be eligible for the monthly prize draw. I would love to see what you come up with! Have a look at the challenge blog to see what my talented DT buddies have made!

    What a sweet little card! Love the cute image and fun striped paper! I just wanted to let you know that you will want to go back and re-link your entry to the proper post. The Let It Snow challenge requires use of a Sassy Studio Designs image so I think you were looking for our Christmas in July challenge. Thanks for joining us at SSD! :)

    Hi Ciska honey! Re: how I distress my papers, I use Tim Holtz' ditressing tool - it's brilliant because you can use it to make subtle ditressing or go to town and really get ripping with it!

    You can see it here, just scroll down the page a little...
