Snowflake Sprig





I'm still on a mission to get my Christmas cards for my Australian friends and family all done and ready to post before I head off in mid October.  I haven't sent a Christmas card down under since the beginning of the pandemic (some Mother's Day cards took over 8 months in 2020 and a birthday card in 2021 took just over three months).  I figure though if I post them from within Australia in Oct/Nov they SHOULD arrive by Christmas - no matter what problems Australia Post may be experiencing!

This one is for my sister - who I haven't seen for over 5 years now!  We talk or text daily but it's just not the same is it!  I'll be staying with her while I'm there and we hope to make a few short trips together!  

My sister loves the colour purple and I love the colour pink so this one's especially for her from me!

I'm still experimenting with CAS and I think I failed here - I just couldn't stop myself adding a little more to the right hand side of the card!  I think Fran will love it though!

Dies used : Memorybox Snowflake Sprig, Spellbinders Resplendent Rectangles
Sentiment Stamp : Waltzing Mouse Alpine Christmas
Distress Inks : Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry
