fabulous card , thank you for playing along with our challenge at CRAFTY CATZ this week, x carol
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! I love the snowflake wreath and the sentiment as the focal point.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment on my blog. I have not tried acetate for making custom rub ons. The stuff I have is too thick to go through my printer and it might be too thick to "rub". I have not tried to store them for more than a couple of hours. I think you would be able to store them as long as the ink doesn't rub off on anything.
Lovely card! Thanks for joining us at Catch the Bug this week!

This is beautiful and I love the sentiment piece with the lovely snowflakes.
ReplyDeleteYour weather sounds just about like mine...a chill in the air..cold at night at times.
Hello Marianne,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your visit to my blog and your nice comment. I decided to come back and visit you too.
Ahhh - yes, Christmas is sneaking up, or rather its flat out running up to us haha! Its getting pretty cold here, we have had snow once but it did not stick.
I hope you get to stay in and create all snug as a bug in a rug.
blessings,
Barb
What a stunning card. So lovely design. I like the colors and love the CAS style design like Plastic cards which make the card POP. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLovely card Marianne. I like the suggestion of a warm woolly jumper in the backing paper. Our heating has been on for ages - it's very cool and damp here. Not a good combo for the old bones!!! :) Hope you stay warm and cosy.
