… heißt es bei Sparkles Christmas Challenges in diesem Monat – und Leute: es sind nur noch 72 Tage bis Weihnachten. Der Schneemann auf dieser Karte ist ein Fertigprodukt – viele ähnliche habe ich letztes Jahr geschenkt bekommen und mit etwas Glück kommen dann die Tage noch weitere Kreationen an die Öffentlichkeit.
… is what it’s all about over at Sparkles Christmas Challenges this month – and can you believe it: the Christmas countdown is down to 72 days. Anyhow. The snowman on this card is readymade – I received quite a few of these readymade motives last year and with some luck you’ll see more of them in the near future.
Der Hintergrund ist aus ColorCore Cardstock, der schon seit mindestens drei Jahren bei mir rumliegt. Ganz unten im Stapel sozusagen, und somit perfekt, um diese Karte auch noch bei der laufenden Challenge von ABC Christmas Challenges unterzubringen: U – is for Under the Pile. Dieses Papier ist gefällt mir gut: die Schneeflocken habe ich geprägt und bin dann vorsichtig mit Schmirgelpapier drübergegangen. Dadurch kommt der blaue Kern raus, mit einem Effekt wie Kreide.
The background was made with ColorCore Cardstock that I have hoarded for at least three years. At the very bottom of the pile, so to speak. And therefore it’s perfect to link up this card over at ABC Christmas Challenges as well, for „U is for Under the Pile“. I really like how this turned out: I embossed the snowflakes and then carefully sanded it. That way you expose the blue core and the effect is a little like chalk.
Und morgen, liebe Leute, ist schon Freitag. Das schaffen wir auch noch. Schönes Wochenende schonmal!
And tomorrow, dear friends, it’s Friday already. We’ll make it. Have a great weekend!

Love your flying snowman. The white looks so crisp against your chalky-ish background.
I, too, have been hoarding lots and lots of ColorCore cardstock. Maybe I should run several panels through my Cuttlebug using different neglected embossing folders to see what I can come up with. I have just come to realise that I’m not even half way there when it comes to creating the number of Christmas cards that I want to send out this year and you know I’ve been at it since the beginning of the year…
