I used one of my watercolour and salt backgrounds for the night sky. Adding a sweet white die-cut scene that I borrowed from my friend Susan. I had also just received this partial circle cross-stitch die from AliExpress and they fit perfectly together. :) I added a bit of glitter along the roof of the house, ground and trees. The window is coloured with a yellow copic market and the sentiment is heat embossed in silver. Another one for my stash! :)
I hope you'll check out the Rudolph challenge and come join in. It's open from the 25th until the end of the month.
I'm also entering this into Darnell's NBUS Challenge #12. I'm so excited for this challenge as I have lots of NBUS items that need some love. :) As I mentioned, the half circle cross stitch die used for the above card is new to me.

So glad I saw this in real life as it's even lovelier than in the photo! Wonderful salted background and perfect combination of two dies!
This is a beautiful watercolour background, Lol. You have made it into such a lovely card with that sweet die.
I must try this watercolour and salt technique now.
Thanks for taking part in the September Rudolph Days Challenge.
Loll, I sure love your salt watercolored background, it is so striking and against all that white it really pops! Awesome card! Heart Hugs, Col
The kisses/crosses around that die cut is so pretty. Love the salt background and the pop of glitter and tiny bit of yellow just makes it. Fabulous card x
That salted sky is fabulous, Loll, and the die cut reminds me of a snow globe.
Really lovely card, great scene and super CAS card.

Your talent for designing CAS cards is amazing, Loll! If these things were sitting in front of me on the table, I'd never come up with something so pretty and eye catching! Love that die cut combined with that frame!
I want to shake this! You've made such a sweet Christmas card, and it looks like a snow globe! I love all the white space (snow) around it. That salt technique is just fabulous. Beautiful!! Bev
How gorgeous Loll - that background is perfect behind those die cuts

I love watercolor background with salt. This makes the color group always difficult to predict. I love your night sky, it's a bit disturbing and so beautiful. The white winter scene contrasts nicely with this background. I love this beautiful winter card.
