White on white Sassy Suzi

This is a joyfold Christmas card (well, it's my adapted version of a joyfold - a bit of poetic licence) for Christmas inspirations 30.

It features Greeting Farm wild sprouts 'sassy Suzi' stamp, coloured very lightly with two or three pastel copics. This is for Anyone for Anya 'no patterned paper' challenge, also for All that scraps challenge: anything goes - it's also for Farm fresh Friday throwback challenge 3: fancy fold, using an older TGF stamp.

The crackle embossing panel on the left was made using a creative expressions folder, the spots on the central card were produced with a crafts too folder and the Christmas greetings from a cuttlebug embossing folder, all run through my cuttlebug. I made my joyfold a bit different to the norm, so that the full extent of the embossed greetings can be seen when the card fully opens. The central panel can be opened, it's just held down a bit with the craftime flower. The white ribbon ith gems was from Hobbycraft.

This is also for:

Ellephantastic August: add some layers

  5. Lovely card Hazel but not really white on white with a coloured image. I'm afraid it does not qualify for just for fun this time. XOXO Zoe
