Dashing Through The Snow
Hi Bloggers! I just love this little village scene! I used another piece of Midnight Blue Pixie powdered background as the base for the card. I covered a piece of white card with a sticky adhesive sheet. I cut the piece into two sloping hills, then glittered them with Iced Snow. I cut the village buildings in white, added a gold backing and glued them to the background, mostly against the blue background, but I added a few on the lower hilly area. I cut a small white circle and glued it in the sky and added Santa's sleigh flying past it. I used the Dashing Through The Snow sentiment and the horse drawn carriage cut in black and attached in the lower left corner. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 8 1/4" x 9" in size. All for now, Sue x
Hi Sue and everyone. I remember this pretty winter scene at launch, it's so quaint how you've set the festive mood, Santa way above and the Christmas Eve sleigh ride in the snow.... you're just a festive romantic at heart are you not lol. Have a lovely day, keep well, be happy xxx
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, I totally agree with you about this beautiful scene card, stunning, and I believe I have all these dies or similar so will add to my to do list. The frosty looking snow looks perfect too.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Good morning Sue, A beautiful scene that captures the ride of Santa flying through the sky & the person on the sleigh ride rushing to get home. Yvonne xx
Good Morning Sue and all that visit.. I love this card. I imagine Christmas eve night when we were all young. Waiting in expectancy for morning. Looking out the window to see if we could see the sleigh across the moon 🌙. Ahhh those lovely memories. This is what you card has done to me This morning. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds Please stay safe and well 🙏
Morning Sue - what a gorgeous festive scene. Your Christmas village dies are one of my favourites - harking back to times past. Love the sparkling snow too! Colleen xx
Hi Sue, I love, love this card. It was the first one I made using my new dies. I had to guess the size so needed to make a couple of adjustments using some different houses but it turned out well and I am really pleased with it. It was quite time consuming as the pieces are small but I will be making some different ones in between some simpler ones.
This is a gorgeous card! I bought this awesome die set and haven't used it yet! You have inspired me to get it out and play. Not doing too well at the mo so will wait till I have more energy, hopefully not long! Take care. xxx💖💖💖
Hi Sue and lovely wilsonettes x Wonderful card Sue x the scene is amazing x the iced snow is so sparkly in real life, it's one of my favourite glitters x thankyou Sue x Theresa w in Berks xxx
Such a beautiful card! I see by the dimensions, it’s pretty big. About how much smaller can this be made without losing too much? I have ordered these dies. Can’t wait to try to make this. Thank you!
A beautiful card with what we regard as a typical Christmas scene, yet in fact we rarely have snow at Christmas! Thank you Sue. canada revenue agency sudbury tax centre
