A Christmas card!

The Spoonfull of Sugar challenge this week is to make a Christmas card ... I have really struggled with this as I can't, won't get my head round Christmas in September!!!! All that red, green, gold and glitter ... Anyway I have got some lovely blue Christmas papers so I thought I would have a go at making a card for my nephew as he doesn't "do" the traditionally cute Christmas card!!!So I have used Dinky Dots' AJ (hope a download is OK) and coloured him in using my Promarkers. Ellie has helped me with the rest of the card. We embossed some blue cardstock with my Snowflakes and Swiss Dots folders and added a strip of Dovecraft paper. The ribbon and wire is from my stash.
Ellie glitter glued the cuffs and hood (she says it is as neat as she could get it!!!) and put glitter glue around him and sprinkled beads onto it. I am not sure who was more covered in glitter and glue ... Ellie or the card LOL!! Ellie wanted to add the snowflakes as Ed won't do flowers being a boy - good point!
Hope you like it.

Wow! What a gorgeous card Cathy!! I love it that your daughters get involved with your card making, Dylan did try to get involved with heat embossing today which was not really a good idea unless he wanted the singed fingers look lol!!
Love Becky xx
