Here's a very clean and simple card, made with Craftwork Cards papers. I just cut slivers of papers at an angle, and stuck them in random sort of stripes down the bottom half of the card. The butterfly, sentiment button and the label shape are all CWC.
So the snow continues to fall - I am sure that all over the world people are astounded at how a few inches of snow can bring our airports (Heathrow in particular) to a close, well, take it from me, the British people are astounded as well. It is chaos and I feel so sorry for those people in this bitter cold, just trying to get home for Christmas.
In the meantime, Kiki, aged 6 was talking to her 'other' grandma the other day. She looked up, wide eyed, and whispered 'I can hear the reindeer in the sky grandma, can you hear the bells?'
The delightful innocence and belief of a little child - makes all the rushing about worthwhile doesn't it?
Stay warm, I'll be back tomorrow
Sorry I've not been for a visit in ages hun - hope you are ok. Gorgeous card, a stunningly simply idea but so fabulously effective. Love it. Christmas hugs, Sxx

Christmas is definitely a special time when there are little kids around, I really miss that and long for grandkids lol. Love your card Enfys, lovely mix of colours and patterns.
ReplyDeleteOut of the mouth of babes comes such knowledge. Children always keep Christmas in their hearts and many of us adults need to take lessons. Have a wonderful Christmas with all those babies and stay warm. Love your card. Such a nice way to use up scraps that are much too pretty to dispose of.
ReplyDeleteI love how you did this card! Beautiful!! It is all worth it!! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card...the way you cut those strips goes together excellently!!!

Very stylish and elegant looking card there my dear. Please take care and stay warm. Geez it must be nasty over there.
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning. I love the strips of DP.
ReplyDeleteOh children are magical. I just retired from 20+ years of teaching 1st grade. I miss their special stories.
Aren't children marvelous! They make the Holiday's magic, to be able to see it all through their eyes. Enjoy!

Very nice card.
ReplyDeleteIt isn't just there that people and places are at a halt because of snow. There are a lot of places in the States that are the same. If it isn't the norm, it can be paralyzing! Hope things clear for you before Christmas and you can see those grands!
Love the card Enfys. Love that Kiki still hears the bells too, wish we all could. ~Diane
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful card Enfys,I love your papers and the colours.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas.
Hugs Riet.x
Love this idea! So simple, yet so very elegant. Will definitely be giving this method a try. I can make some lovely cards to keep on hand and use up some of the scraps that are threatening to overtake the space I've put aside for them! LOL
ReplyDeleteTFS Enfys! Hope the weather clears and cooperates long enough for you to see your darling grands!
What a pretty card! just goes to show how stunning something simple can be :-)
