November CCC Reveal

Here we are at the 2nd of December, so it's time for the big reveal over at The Card Chain Challenge. This month I sent my card to Pia in Norway and decided to use the colour palette, the sketch and the theme of snowflakes.

I have fallen in love with my Scan N Cut again recently as I have finally taken the time to get to grips with using my WRMK warm quills. I have seen such a lot of amazing foiling recently that it spurred me to get to grips with it. It is so cool, love it.


I found I already had some snowflake shapes as cutting files so I arranged them in an oval shape and used silver heat transfer foil to transfer the pattern onto my card. The sentiment was also created with my scan n cut, I tried to find the font I used but failed. I spent ages going through them all and still didn't find it. I must remember to write these things down, but then I would lose the bit of paper!



My card came all the way from New Zealand, thanks Suze. The front of this card is gold and silver mirror card, so pretty impossible to photograph. I am so sorry I can't do it justice. I was very impressed that it only took 2 weeks to reach me, I know that in recent times it has been over a month.



Supplies:
cardstock: Hunky Dory adorable scorable matt-tastic card; Hobbycraft silver glitter card; Gold glitter card; Gold card
Dies: Snowflake die; Stitched rectangle 
Scan N Cut and silver hot foil

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today, I really appreciate it.

Well done choosing several of the challenge prompts. I think it looks fantastic, even more so in real life, and it's interesting to read about the techniques you used. Your card has been put on the wallboard in my crafting room for admiration and inspiration:)

Splendidly lovely holiday greeting. Lucky, Pia!

This colour palette, used in a Christmas setting, feels as fresh as a gust of arctic air. It's sophisticated and chic, sweet and beautiful - just like your terrific card itself.
