Blue Christmas or Anything Goes for the CCC!

 Hello Everyone, I hope your weekend is going well whatever you're plans are.

It's time once again for the Christmas Card Club to show their latest cards and this time it's Gran Margaret who has chosen the theme of Blue Christmas.


I'm not sure whether this card is showing a Blue Christmas or Anything goes, falls somewhere in between I think, anyway, I've used a stamp and sentiment from Chocolate Baroque's A Tomte Christmas set. The image is stamped in Twilight Blue Versafine Claire ink and coloured with a couple of blue coloured pencils, and some silver gel pen. Lavinia stars, and Card-io moon and cloud stamps.

Background is made using Lavinia Stamps Elements ink, finishing off with Posca Pen splashes and glitter.

Thank you Margaret of the great challenge, I did enjoy it.

Don't forget to have a look at what the other ladies form the team create, their cards are always fabulous.

Thank you all so much for the lovely comments on my previous card, so kind.

That's me for tonight, off the schedule this for tomorrow for when the post goes live. Enjoy your evening,

The Tompt Christmas Gnomes are always such fun Kate and really like all the blue and purple hues.

Yes, that's me in the fuchsia dress (only managed out of the chair twice for a photo) and Great Granddaughter Margo, one next week, in my eldest daughter arms, her and hubby parents of the groom. I keep telling them I'm far too young for them to be getting married and having great grandchildren!!

I have these Tomte gnomes but haven't given them an outing for a very long time but they are so cute and I love the blue and purple background and with just some blue and silver to colour parts of the gnome and reindeer which works beautifully Kate. x

What a super cute image and great scene you created with it. I love blue for Christmas. If ever I am having a mojo block I just go with blue and Christmas and I can always make something.
