Well what an amazing Bank Holiday, weather wise we have all had - NOT, in fact the flipping sun had the cheek to show it's head for the first time at 2pm today !!!- gee what use is that i ask you ??? We went out yesterday in the drizzle to a Food Fair and today we went for a walk in an Arboretum, as they had a Bluebell walk on and we could take Whisper on the lead.
I must confess for an Xmas card, this is not the first one i normally pick up, but as there are a couple of Black And White Challenges on at the moment, it was ideal. I've embossed the 2 different sections with CB 'Ice Crystals' and 'Snowflakes' onto white pearlescent card corners and border are an MS 'Snowflake' punch - black card is Bazzill bling and sentiment is PB 'Crystalline'

Wasn't the bank holiday weather appalling Sam, in fact when it started raining here yesterday lunchtime it forgot to stop until just now and it still looks like more to come. Florida or somewhere similar sounds a very good option right now.
On to your card and it's just great, beautifully clean and crisp.
Thanks so much for joining in at Allsorts this week and good luck.
