It is the 22nd December so time for another challenge over at Craftlandia on Mia's blog Craftartista.
The theme for Craftlandia 21 is
cold or anything goes
These cards started with a piece of yupo paper that I covered with alcohol ink and a little bit of silver foil. I think it worked really well as a sky backdrop for my wintry scene. The die is called cottage snow globe scene by Creative Expressions, the sentiment stamp and the insert stamp are by Uniko.
As you can see, I made two.
I hope you like my wintry cards and get a chance to join us at Craftlandia 21 over on Mia's blog. Don't forget that there are prizes to be won, so make you you check it out.
I don't suppose I shall be posting again before Christmas so I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thank you so much for all your support and inspiration over the last 12 months.
I shall definitely be back on 2nd Jan for the December card chain challenge reveal, but I may pop in before that, you never know.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today, I really appreciate it.

Beautiful cards. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
These are absolutely gorgeous! I don't know which one I like more! I love the gorgeous sky made of alcohol ink in the first one, and the look of the grey monotone in the second. Oh, both of the scenes are wonderful! Great cards, Hilary! You sure brought out the best out of them!
Love the alcohol ink wintry skies Hilary, which look really dramatic against your white silhouette skyline. I agree the foil letterpress gives a beautiful wintry effect. Merry Christmas to you and your family xx
Gorgeous wintry cards, love the night sky background on the first two. I hope you and yours have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Hi Hilary
Gorgeous cards .. .. love the wintery feel of the last one very much.
Many thanks for your lovely comment on my blog. Mum loved her Christmas card .. .. .. today she had me packing Christmas away for her and I asked if she wanted to keep any of her cards and she said "no, they can all go" LOL!!!
I hope you had a good Christmas and wish you all the very best for 2025!
Love Jules xoxo
