Christmas Card Club Challenge 4: Snow Covered Trees

Hello Folks.  Another two weeks have since our last Challenge at CCC  and Mary has chosen the theme this time for challenge 4, and she chose Snow Covered Trees.   A lovely theme I have to say,  but hard to take pictures.   Never mind,  my trees are embossed and covered with snowy sparkle embossing powder.  The little cottage is a die is from Cottage Cuts and I backed with navy card and fussy cut it to make a silouette.   A bit of distressing round the edges and that is my card for this challenge.  We have now had a whole week of beautiful spring weather, with lots of sunshine and blue skies.  It certainly makes everyone feel much better.  Long may it continue.  Enjoy the rest of the week-end.       Hugs Rita xxxxx

Rita, this is just inspired creativity! Love the embossed pines on the background, and that lovely night village. The navy behind all those sweet white houses really evokes a serene nightscape. Love that die, don't think I"ve seen it. Brilliant to make the navy backing - really did create such a stunning look. Enjoy your sunshine, hope you had a pleasant Valentine's Day. TFS & Hugs

Love this pretty scene you have created. Your trees are certainly sparkly with snow!
That is a fabulous die for the cottage and church in front. Really stunning!

Sorry i am missing yet again. Not crafting since we moved as I have had bronchitis since the end of January...just a bit worn out with it. Almost settled now and resting a lot so hopefully will be back soon.
