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.

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 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.
