Daring Card Makers go Nordic this Christmas!

Hi!

Here's my go at this weeks Daring Cardmakers dare set by Fran to make a Nordic themed/inspired card.

I started off with the red and white colour scheme collecting bits and pieces to use then set about laying them out on my card base. I started with all the embellishments at the bottom then decided just before I stuck them all down to flip it around and have them at the top kinda like they're hanging I guess but I'm not sure it's worked because my eye keeps thinking there's something missing? Once they're stuck down, (and stitched down in this instance) there's really no going back!
I made the little felt heart adding some stitches with embroidery thread but the crochet snowflake I cheated and bought from Paperchase. The red dotty paper is Echo Park Holly Jolly Christmas and the kraft dotty paper is MME Kraft Funday. The greeting is ribbon but it's all stitched so it's got that lovely Nordic/stitched kind of look.
Pop on over to Daring Cardmakers to have a go at this weeks challenge, we can't wait to see what you come up with! www.daringcardmakers.blogspot.com
