Little Christmas Icons

Hello, how are you?

Here we are barrelling relentlessly towards Christmas.  There's no stopping it, no matter how hard we wish for more time....

Friday December the 1st today and a new Daring Cardmakers Challenge - and as its the first Friday of the month it's an

Elemental Inspiration Photo Challenge

to give the starting point. you need to do to join in is to choose at least 3 elements from the picture to use on your card.

There are lots of lovely possibilities, such as the tree, hearts, stars, the textures and patterns of the blanket, floor and bricks, Nordic style elements.... etc

From the photo I chose to use the stocking, the gift and the tree.  I was going to make miniature gift bags as in the photo, but then remembered the lovely Christmas minis die from Cuttlebug.  Its pretty old, but comes out again most years.  I tried to use the crisp Nordic style too, and also added a few stars, including red glittery ones like the one on the top of the tree in the picture.
