My Card
Click on image to enlarge picture
This picture does not show the card at its best unfortunately. Unusually for me it is 7 x 7 inches because I wanted to use as much of the gorgeous First Edition Silent Night paper as possible. I also didn't want to cover up too much so I just die cut some snow flakes using SB Create a Flake 5, and a couple of trees using Dees Distinctly A Cut Above. I cut them all from another sheet in the set and dusted them all over with Pan Pastel Light Gold which, although not showing in the photo, gives a gorgeous pearlescent glow to the images. The background paper is very neutral and the tree is beautifully glittered. The card is a pale gold pearlescent card from Anna Marie Designs. (Part of a fabulous bargain at the NEC. About 8 or 9 pence per card and envelope, including 8 inch and pearlescent cards.) This is for my nephew because he doesn't like things too fussy. I think it would make a nice winter birthday card too.
Have a good day.

Hi Christine
Was going to ask how you got that ethereal effect with the tree but its obviously the gorgeous paper.
The white on white does make you shiver as its so effective. Just fab!
Have a good weekend chuck.
