Back to making Christmas cards for this DT piece and I have made 4 of these.
Welcome to the PanPastel UK make an embellishment challenge, we hope you will join us this time around and be in with a chance to win your own set of pans from our regular sponsor Your Creativity Store.
My focal image is from the Christmas Chic collage sheet available at Gecko Galz. If you haven't visited their shop or blog I do recommend you take a look, especially if you love vintage images you can print out yourself.
The background for this card was made with PanPastels and the freebie snowflake stamp from the Craft Stamper magazine this month. Two A4 sheets were enough to make my four cards.
The snowflake is my hand made embellishment, die cut from offcuts of the backing paper with a movers and shapers die, heat embossed with sparkly ep and a shrink plastic snowflake for the additional layer. All sparkly bits are diamond Stickles.

A memory box frosty border die-cut, music paper and a computer generated sentiment complete the card.
Another update about my GD, when I visited Friday she was in the hospital classroom, helping a younger boy make a model pirate ship. She was bright and chirpy and is now eating solid foods, a very bland diet though and just small amounts.
I took lots of cards with me that had arrived over the past week and she was delighted with them and loved looking at the different styles, patterns and colours. I have to say a huge thank you to Sue (Scrumplescrunch), Lynn (Trash to Treasure art), Silvia (BarniesBaustelle), Yvonne (Journey into Artistry), Joyce (Gram's Treasures), Karin (Creativity), Marjie (She who stamps and scraps), Rebekah (Berrylicious), and Trace (Inkypinkycraft). Thank you all for brightening her day and her room.
Happy Sunday.

Fabulous card - I love the background, as well as that fab image (discovered the Gecko Galz only recently via their bloghop - amazing!) and the Memory Box die looks wonderful - as does your deliciously edged snowflake.
So glad to hear that Becca's improving, and that she's enjoying her card gallery!

Just gorgeous and so elegant!!! I love the gold! The snowflake is beautiful as well! Good news with your granddaughter. I hope my card arrives soon as well!
Make an embellishment? Or make a statement! Because this card is just gorgeous, Brenda. I love your snowflake embellie and that delicate border die.
But more than anything, I love the mental image of your granddaughter up and about in the classroom helping a younger fellow. Wonderful news about Becca... I hope each days gets better.
This is just so beautiful Brenda and a great xmas card. Good news on your granddaughter and her progress. I'm so glad the cards cheer her up.
