Crafty Indivduals
I decided to make a start on my christmas cards as it only 20 weeks till christmas!!!!

I have seen and admired many acetate christmas cards but never had a go at one as the acetate I had was to thin, then a couple of weeks ago I bought about 10 packs of Acetate which was thick enough from work well it would have been rude not to at 10p a pack.

I used my nesties to die cut and emboss 1 shape from white card and one from a pearlised silver/aqua colour I have printed the digi sentiment on to the white piece and then stamped silver snowflakes around the edge. The large snowflake is one I rescued off a christmas card at some point and then the small ones have been punched from white card and had a tiny gem stuck in the middle. I tied some white organza ribbon around the spine. Inside I have cut another 2 shapes to write on and stuck them down in line with the ones on the fronts.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
