I didn't think the wind and rain could get much worse but I was wrong. The winds have intensified and it has poured here for the last 24 hours. Still we are far better off than those poor people in Cumbria and SW Scotland. Hubby worked for the RNLI for 11 years before he retired and he has been fretting all day about any Lifeboat Crews that may have been called out today. Those guys and gals (there are a lot of women on lifeboats) are the salt of the earth. If you want to consider a Charity in your Christmas giving they are worth helping.Anyway on to the crafting. I decided to combine the requirements for two challenges in this card. I used the sketch from Friday Sketchers and the "Masking" asked for in the Just Magnolia challenge.
The stamps are Magnolia's "Old Wooden Bench" which I stamped with a masking so that I could superimpose "Sitting Santa". They were coloured in using my Copic Ciaos. The papers are "Colourful Christmas (falling flakes)" by My Mind's Eye and Karen Neuburger's "Share Bear" by Paper Adventures. The snowflakes are punched out of mirra card using an Alpine punch. The sentiment is from Inkadinkado's "Holiday Silhouettes" set and the ribbon is from my stash.
I enjoyed making this card and I hope you like it enough to find time to leave a comment. I really love reading your views on my cards and find them so helpful and encouraging.
I hope you enjoy the rest of your day whatever you are doing. Go safely. Thank you for visiting my little blog.
Hugs,

Fab card Fiona, love your masking, I really have to have a go at this.....I agree with you about the weather, but we are luckier than some, I honestly thought that my shed was going to take off with me in it yesterday, I was stuck for about 3 hours and lost internet connections.....mind you if the shed takes off I had better be in it...LOL....Hugs Avril xxxx
