Yep! It's a Christmas theme. Well....it HAD to be, didn't it! LOL
Here's my first CFM challenge card......
Recipe.....
Kraft card
Stamp - SU's 'Lovely as a Tree'
Brown velvet ribbon
DP - Papermania's ' A Christmas Carol', matted onto dark brown card.
Sentiment - Hampton Arts
The 'snow' is the stuff you buy in a big bag to put on your windows to mimic snow. It has glitter in it and is only 99p from a shop in the UK called B&M.!!! There's TONS of it in a bag!
OK, not tons, but LOADS!
I made a mask by punching out a circle and sponged over it in Bashful Blue ink, to form a watery sun behind the trees.
Please join in with this very first Cards For Men Challenge, we can't wait to see what you come up with.
This is the fantastic prize donated by Donna's Den Of Crafts, The Crafter's Companion Ultimate Pro, so come on and play!
Pop over right away and see what the rest of the DT have created and to get all the details.
This challenge will run for two weeks in the lead-up to Christmas and then it will run monthly for a while to see how it goes.
(Hopefully, it will be every two weeks eventually).
Have fun!

I love your card Viv!! I will have to put my thinking cap on for this one. I love the papers you chose and the way you stamped the trees with blue ink and the masking. I feel like I could step right into that calming scene. Fantastic!!
Great card, Viv. I'll have to have a look in B&M for that snow stuff. Great tip.
