Morning all! You know that I love Kraft card, so it shouldn't be a surprise to see it on my Chnristmas cards! I used a piece of My Mind's Eye decorative kraft card as my background on this one. I stamped the word sentiment in black in the upper corner and embossed it. I used a white gel pen to give it more definition. I used the pen to do some faux stitching around the edge also. I stamped the lower corner with a swirl stamp using clear perfect medium and embossed with white powder. I cut one of the snowflake pendants in white card. I cut a smaller snowflake using white card that had sticky adhesive on it. I peeled the backing paper and adhered luna silver mica flakes to the snowflake die cut. I mounted this atop the larger one and placed a flatback pearl in the centre. I mounted the snowflake in the upper corner of the card with mounting foam. I used my scissors to distress the edge of the background card and inked it lightly with black soot distress ink. I matted it with black card that I pierced to finish off a quick and easy Christmas card. All for now, Sue x

What a great card card Sue. I think it would be a good card to make in large numbers and ring the changes slightly by changing the placement, using a different sentiment etc.
Hi Sue, lovely card, enjoying your christmas card ideas, will have to make a note for later in the year. Will definately have to purchase the mica flakes, aren't they so effective on the snowflake?
lv Norma
WOW I love the white and black on Kraft card it looks stunning. The snowflake is just amazing. Thank you again for sharing.

Fabulous card Sue, I do think that Christmas and Kraft card are some how made for each other! Carole Z X
Hi Sue
Another lovely and elegant christmas card.
Happy crafting
Tina x
Love the card, but maybe with a different background.
I have already emailed Sue to say thank you for the wonderful box of goodies that arrived for me yesterday as the winner of the Blog Candy. But I wanted to let you all know how generous she had been, I had 3 sets of dies, 6 sheets of stamps as well as lots of ribbons, inks, glitters and extras.
She is such a generous lady with both this and all the cards she shares with us.
WOW!!! Love it; if that doesn't inspire us ....nothing will. Thank you SOOOOoo much Sue, Mabex
Good Morning Sue,
Another stunning card.
Will give that Snowflake a try, I like it. For me, I would probably use a different background card.
Have a great day
Patricia
Good Morning Sue !
Love the Flakes on the Snowflake such a pretty effect ..

Hi Sue

Hugs Annx without an "e"
I also lve kraft card and this is beautiful.
love the card but would prob use a diff clour background will have to change snowflake 2 as i havent got new 1s but hacve got others so will see how it turns out thx again Sue for inspiration
Morning Sue, This is a truly fantastic card. Just love the flourish, so striking, the snowflake with mica flakes is beautiful, the faux stitching sets the whole card off. Just stunning and, for once, I'm not commenting about no bow. Truly stunning card. I'm doing an encaustic art class this morning, I was so intrigued by the encaustic art that your friend sent to you and you incorporated it into your cards, it was beautiful, so keep your fingers crossed for me ha ha. Lots of love from Patricia xx
Hi Sue - a lovely idea and good for doing repeats, like you need to at Christmas. Stunning snowflake. Enjoy USA and the time with your mom. Kathy x

I love this card and think it would be good with a flower instead of the snowflake and with a different sentiment would make a card for any occasion
Sue xx
Hi Sue

Well done AdrienneQ, you're a very lucky lady by the sound of it and you are so right that Sue is a generous lady.
Love the snowflake and the layout of the card and the white gel pen around the sentiment is perfect but I'm not sure of the background paper. Perhaps a different colour?? but that's just my taste xx
Just love this card. The colours are contemporary for a Christmas card and so very different. Love the flakes on the snowflakes. A winner for my taste. Thank you Beverley x
I love the layout of this card and it would work well in traditional christmas colours as well.
Safe flight and enjoy your time in the US - I just hope it's not too hot having seen some of the reports on the news.
Gorgeous card, I wouldn't have thought of using kraft card for christmas.
Clare x

Morning Sue. Quite taken with use of white gel pen very effective, the snowflake has come to life with a truly icy look.

Brown, black, and white for a Christmas card? Not the colours normally associated with the season, but it absolutely conveys the message beautifully. It says it all.
Thank you, Sue
Christine

I love this card, kraft card goes with any colour so a great staple. Great idea to use a white pen to out line the sentiment.

Apologies for the misspelling particularly your name. Should have previewed.
Hello Sue,
