It's a blue Christmas

I've made a (very late) start on my Christmas cards, but you know what they say, 'better late than never'.

In a way, I do have a head start. I made some cards last year, but Mum died on 9th December, so Christmas was kind of cancelled here. Well, Mum always said she didn't like waste, so the cards I never sent last year, will top me up this year. (She would be pleased).

I finally got a Stampin'Up set that I've been ogling for AGES...Season of Joy!

I just LOVE this set and can't imagine why I haven't bought it sooner.

Please say hello to the first of many using this set.

I stamped the images with Brilliance Sky Blue and Ice Blue ink and added some Glamour Dust to the trees.

The 'snow' is courtesy of a Sizzix  CUTTLEBUG embossing folder.
I'm entering this card into a challenge over at Cute Card Thursday.
The challenge is 'make your own'.
Use embellishments you have made yourself....
 You can use punches, stamps, paper and material to make your own, but nothing shop bought.
My take on it is the ribbon detail. (I hope it qualifies, 'coz I made the bow myself).

Have a great day everyone!
