Morning Peeps, time for our new challenge at Allsorts and this week Helen would like to see 'Snowflakes'. Our sponsor is Marianne Designs.
Many thanks for all your kind wishes the last few days, I am home, rather bruised and needing a few days to recover before I get back into the swing of craft land, but fine apart from that. They seemed happy how things went, a further CT scan is scheduled and another procedure towards the end of January which I am really hoping will be the end of what's seemed like a never ending saga this year.

Onto my cards and I don't seem to have much in the way of snowflakes in my stash so for my first card I used an old wood mounted Hero Arts stamp which has a negative image of a little hamlet with snow falling so to compliment that I computer generated the first few lines of a John Whittaker Watson's 'Beautiful Snow' poem. I stamped the image in blue versafine and heat embossed with detail clear powder and simply matted and layered onto a larger card onto which I had printed the poem verse.
I kept my second share fairly CAS and used two snowflake dies to cut out the snowflakes and used the negative to place over a piece of turquoise glitter card, stamped the sentiment which is Inkylicious and tied some bakers twine and a gem across the top.
I hope our seasonal theme will be one you join in with and that you will pop over to the challenge blog to see all the inspiration from my teamies.

Hi Brenda, the cards are beautiful. I like both very much.
Greetings Carola
Glad to hear everything went well at the hospital and that you are done with it in time for the holidays too!
Your cards are beautiful, love the poem and it's a reminder of how beautiful snow is (if we don't have to drive in it, that is!!)
Beautiful cards, great news with the hospital.....and we are saying "oh the snow" here in the midlands....lol
I don't know about Oh The Snow Brenda! You must have had the huge "dumping" that we received overnight and this morning! I'm declaring two days inside!!!! The dogs absolutely love it and have given us some laughs. Oh yes, cards!!!! Very appropriate one might say!!!! Really lovely Brenda and I'm glad that you are home, now take things slowly - golly it's all operations isn't it - James is doing well. Take care xxxxxxx
Absolutey stunning and classy cards Brenda, so elegant!
Both stunning, really beautiful colours! Creative Blessings, Tracy x
Beautiful cards Brenda, the first one is stunning and I love how you have printed part of the poem (think I have that stamp lurking somewhere, must dig it out after seeing how lovely it looks on your card)

Sorry I'm so late coming here (all the last work that has to be done before the end of the year) I do like this rather 'blue' post :)! Great to see an older stamp on the first; it is a beauty! And so super CAS your 2nd; that is something we don't see often here, but just great! Take time to get back in your zone/mode! Hugs, Gerrina
What a lovely, chilly pair of cards - the snow factor is definitely having an effect on this post!! The icy simplicity is really fabulous. Great work as always, Brenda.

What a beautiful and tranquil scene. I thought it was a die it is so detailed - it's a lovely stamp. Your second card is so CAS, delicate and elegant too.
These are wonderful creations, love the CAS design.
Happy crafting
