Christmas Card Club Challenge 20: Winter Scene.

Hello Folks.   Time for another card over at Christmas Card Club ,  where the lovely Christine chose  a Winter Scene for Challenge 20.
My card is another 8X 8 ,  and the scene that I created was on clarity card using distress inks and Clarity stamps from a good few years ago.   The frame was made with the Martha Stewart snowflake PATP ,  to that I  added the new Sue Wilson Pine bough  along with some glitter.   No bows or flowers on this one .  
I had a really lovely day in Glasgow yesterday with two of my  blogging friends  Patricia and Hazel.   It was great to put faces to names and although we keep in touch regularly, we had never met.  They are two of the nicest people you could ever meet,  and it seemed like we knew each other so well and hopefully we will do this again soon.   Thank You ladies so much for a great day out.   Hugs Rita xxxx

This is really gorgeous Rita. It really is a lovely wintry scene. Funnily enough I have a similar stamp to this and I thought about using it - but I can never resist my snowy houses. Have a good day and hope all is well. Hugs Christine xx

This is simply lovely. The way you've made the frame for your gorgeous scene was very imaginative. I can never get these punches to do so well when I try them. Love the soft serene blues in your scene, and the pine branches were perfect in the corners. Liked the matting that you did for the frame too. So happy you got to meet these 2 sisters. That was a lot of talent gathered together! I know you had fun. TFS & Happy Sunday.

Hi Rita,
what a super card, for the Christmas card club.
I love your fab scene, and all your very wonderful design.
So glad you had a good time with Patricia, and Hazel.
I have always found them to be the most caring of people, and very generous too.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
