The stamp is a Dinkie stamp by Little Claire - I love the postbox with the little birds and the snow - such a perfect Christmas image! I stamped it in black Versafine and embossed it with clear powder then coloured the image with watercolour paints. The die is by Spellbinders and I inked through with a little Distress Ink and added loads of glitter. The corners of the red mat and the base card are all rounded with a Corner Chomper by We R Memory Keepers Then finally I added little white dots with a white pen to look like snow.
I would like to enter the following challenges:
Darnell's Blog - NBUS (Never Before Used Schtuff) - Anything goes as long as you include something that is NBUS - I have not used the stamp before.
Little Claire's Challenge - Christmas
Craft Barn - Stamping

I really do love the post boxes that were used in The United Kingdom.

so cute and good for you to be working ahead for Christmas!
I love the red and white and all that glitter. It also made me smile.
Your comment was definitely compliment - thanks, Chris! Jx
The red and white just pop together for this snowy wintery card. That image is a cutie!
Cute card!
Gorgeous card design, love it :)
What a fab car Chris. I know someone over the water who would love that. I did, however, send her one on a keychain and she thanked me for the other thing I sent. Go figure!
Tell you what it is too hot. Will make it later next time as I can't do with it so warm. Sorry to grouch, am loving the holiday though.
Hugs, Neet xx

What a cute, shimmery image, Chris ... so fabulous and festive with the frosty framing! Hugs, Anita :)
You have really done a stunning job with this image, Chris! The execution is impeccable and it's easy to see you put your heart in it! I love the colors and the vintage feel it brings of a time when people treasured and embraced sending Christmas cards in the mail!! Thank you for playing in my NBUS Challenge #5! Enjoy the weekend! (I'm looking forward to the announcement!)! Hugs, Darnell
Oh this is such a sweet image, Chris. Love the pretty die in as the background on your lovely card.
