Red Snowflake - another card with no sentiment

Evening Everyone

Just a quick and easy card to share with you this evening. Another one with a recycled card topper - I loved this photograph of a gold and sparkly tree ornament as soon as I took it out of the envelope when I received it last year.

All I had to do to make this card was trim the topper, ink the edges with Tim Holtz Festive Berries distress ink, and layer it on to red mirror card before attaching it to the white scalloped edged card base. The finishing touch is the green satin ribbon bow - from one of the bargain reels I picked up for a song at the local car boot sale.

     

The inside and back are decorated with snowflakes that were applied using a template - maker and source unknown - and the Festive Berries ink. 

I'm submitting it to the usual challenges:

Hazel's, at Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge 138, - no sentiment again

Hazel's other challenge - CHNC Challenge Extra for August - where, as always, the challenge is for anything as long as it's Christmas.

And, of course, Pixie's Crafty Snippets Playground Week 86 ... the red mirror card is the snippet here.

And that is it - another fairly slim card which shouldn't incur the massive and damaging costs my cards usually attract at the Post Office :)

We took the opportunity during a dry spell to get out and make a few changes at the top of the garden. We removed the charred flower bed, put down gravel, providing a new, and hopefully safer, storage place for the new wheelie bins. Now we just have to wait for the insurance company to give the go ahead for the rest of the work to be done. It started raining just as we finished ... wasn't that lucky :))

I hope you are all well and have had a lovely Friday. 

Thanks for popping in, take care and happy crafting,
