This is the last challenge until 26th August at Winter Wonderland.

Our host for this Mega Challenge is our lovely Marlene.

Two themes for you to choose one or mix them both together.
First one is
Show Us Your Gold/Silver
Use An Embossed Background.

I had hoped to do both but my die cutting machine broke on me,
so was unable to emboss the background.

I have used a Digi from A Day For Daisies called Mr Snowman.

They are one of 3 Sponsors we have for this challenge.
Details below pictures.

I coloured him with my Inktense Pencils for a change. I added snow with my 3D glue and topped it with Cosmic Shimmer Glitter.
The charm was from my stash. Our very generous sponsors are, in no particular order:

A Day For Daisies
Their prize is a£10 voucher to use in their shop

Crafters Companion
Their prize is also a £10 voucher to spend in their shop

Crafts & Me
Their prize is an £8 voucher to use in their shop

You can enter up to 3 cards only per person.
So good luck and get those cards in and don't forget
you have to be in it to win it!!

PS: My replacement machine arrived today. I ordered it on the 18th July,
It was dispatched on the 21st July.
It had to travel for 1 hour from the shop to my home.

They said it would be delivered between 22nd and 26th July.
It arrived today, after me putting in a complaint.
I had paid £5.75 for the delivery charge. (Company have refunded that)

I still don't understand why it should take so long to travel 1 hour!!!
I was getting concerned, as I have a wedding order to deliver on Tuesday
and I couldn't finish it without the machine.

If inspiration would be helpful, pop over to
the challenge page and you will see all my Teamies
wonderful works of art.

I am looking forward to seeing your amazing entries
and visiting your blogs. Labels: Cosmic Shimmer Iced Snow, Inktense Pencils, Winter Wonderland Challenge Pollard Carole said...

29 July 2016 at 11:05 Aw really cute image Carol and a lovely design - glad to hear you got your new machine - life just stops without one lol hugs Judith x

29 July 2016 at 12:38 Oh what a super snowman resplendent on your card. Hope the new machine works well for you!xx

29 July 2016 at 15:28 Super cute card Carol. 3 days from order to dispatch is disgraceful in this day and age- apart from delivery time.

29 July 2016 at 16:39 Such a cute card Carol. Your colouring detail on the hat is fab, it gives the hat real dimension.
Don't talk to me about delivery charges. I have just got back from our local sorting office to collect an Amazon parcel and had to pay nearly £14 import duty. Amazon are definitely going to get a piece of my mind!
Enjoy your evening

29 July 2016 at 18:29 He is fabulous Carol and love your pencil colouring and his little Christmas tree charm he is holding..funny isn't it..I order from Australia [across the ditch]..and it can take up to 3 weeks to arrive..but order from UK and it takes 8 days..amazing.
