Blue Christmas

This is my sample card for MTTC blog challenge. The set theme is Christmas in August, I like more traditional colour when it comes to Christmas so thought blue was a good starting point. On my A5 base card I randomly stamped snowflakes. My first layer was then a smaller piece of decorative paper to which I added script stamped image. After inking the edges of a frame and adding little stamped stars to decorate I then placed it over the script using foam pads to give more dimension. My top layer is also a stamp, I stamped this in blue to contrast with the decorative paper, I then layered it onto mirror board and cut around leaving a small border. To finish I added card candy and a sentiment.
Thank you for taking the time to view my blog, all comments and followers are much appreciated x
