Sentiment as Focus for CCC

Good morning.  Well, it's actually extremely chilly here and we have had frost the past two mornings. Our property is quite high and we get more frost and snow than the villages around us. It's a wee bit early for this as far as I'm concerned!  I hope you all remembered to turn back your clocks at 2 o'clock this morning.  I don't want to find out any of you cheated and did it before you went to bed ... lol!

These two weeks just zoom by so quickly and it's time for a challenge in our Christmas Card Club. Sylvie has asked us to use the sentiment as the focal point of our cards this time.   This suits me down to the ground because that is my favourite form of card.  I'd be quite happy to never use images on my cards and just settle for sentiments, quotes, poems etc.

My Card

 
Recipe
white cardstock - Hobbycraft
glitter card - stash
Sparkles Flakes e/f - Creative Expressions
labels 10 - Spellbinders
snowflakes - Marianne and Spellbinders
sentiment - Pink Petticoat (closed down)
 

This is a lovely embossing folder but quite an unusual size. The folder measures 19 cms x 145 cms, which is approximately 5.75 ins x just less than 7.75 ins. I trimmed it slightly to make my finished card  6" x 7.75". Very odd size.
 
Well that's it from me today.
 
Take care.

Sorry to be so late in visiting, and gosh, hope this early chill doesn't forecast a harsh winter. We got a bit of chill, then it warmed up again. Our time changes this weekend. This is a most elegant card to fit the sentiment focal point them. Love the subtle embossed design on the background with the cool whites. Like the design with the top and bottom embossing, leaving the center plain to showcase the sentiment. Snowflakes were a great embellie to add more 'icy'. Have a great weekend. Hugs & TFS
