For a child...

...in this case a Christmas card for a young boy.

Challenge 39 over at "CHNC" requested a Christmas card for a child but left it fairly open as to whether that would be a baby's first Christmas, a yound child or perhaps a teen.

I went for a card using images from The Snowman CD (Crafters Companion) - the only little boys I know absolutely love the story of The Snowman.
All the printing has been done on vellum to give the images a softer look - even the blue paper is vellum which has been stuck to silver miri card.
As you can see from this image the effect is very soft.
The images are set into windows on the front of the card and the sentiment is mounted on 3D foam to raise it up slightly.

The white card blank was sprayed with iridescent spray to give it a slight sparkle (doesn't show in the photos).

This challenge runs until Friday 30 Sept so why don't you hop over there and take a look - or better still, join in..................................

So lovely! I just bought the pad of 12x12 snowman scrapbook papers for the bargain price of just £2.99. I was wondering what to do with them - and now you've given me a bit of inspiration. Thank you! :)
