A lovely challenge today and as it had to include blue which I love I decided to make my card blue and white. The blue card blank is stamped with Elzybells large snowflake in versamark and embossed with kaleidescope ep, I repeated this over the top of the first embossing and this time used snowflake ep. I wish the sparkle would show up, it's lovely, shimmery and Christmassy IRL. I did the same thing with the image first inked with versamark and then versafine blue lagoon and heat embossed and I liked the shimmer of the image so left it without colouring it. I added the sentiment a pale blue eyelet (which is crushed to bits! I can't seem to get the hang the cropdile bigbite) and threaded through the two ribbons and tied, oops, just read the challenge again and I'm only supposed to have one ribbon! TFL Chris

Great job Chris. I love the background you chose. It is awesome that way. I think the simple main image is perfect. Very nice card. I love seeing your work. Hugs to you...

I was just about to come down so hard on your for not adding an eyelet, then I learned you smashed it to smithereens (sp?)
Okay, you're off the hook! Love that dp - it's really to die for, chris. Gorgeous ribbon and smashed eyelet that I cant see!

What a great card Chris! I love your embossed background. Don't cards alway look better IRL when you can see all the details up close? I'm sure the sparkle only makes this card even more gorgeous! That old crop-a-dile takes a little getting used to. Your comment on how you smashed your eyelet made me laugh. Seems I was always doing that too until I got used to it. Hang in there, you'll get it :-) TFS this frosty card!
