Challenged! - The first Christmas Card for 2011


Not just my first Christmas card this year, but my first Shaker card ever! Do you think icing sugar goes off? Maybe by Christmas the snow will have turned green!
Thank you to http://bah-humbug-christmas.blogspot.com/ for kickstarting my Christmas cardmaking. When I saw their 'sentiment/text' challenge, I remembered the 'softly fell...' stamp and the ideas fell into place.

Very clever card Marina and what a novel idea with the icing sugar. Time will tell about going green lol.

Hi Marina, LOL that's great I can't believe you used icing sugar, LOL Good luck with the keeping of it LOL you never know it may be the next best thing to use in shakers, very inventive:0) Thanks for the giggle:0) The sentiment is beautiful, I have one using the same words but it's not as beautiful as this one, all in all a great card, Gay xxx
