I love the combination of silver and purple at Christmas, so I dug out some purple Core-dinations cardstock out of a long-forgotten stack and embossed it in the Grand Calibur with a Die-sire folder that came free with some magazine or other, then sanded it and matted it with silver. Then I added a sentiment which was the very last one on a sheet I've had for several years, a snowflake made with a die that came free with Docrafts magazine some months ago and Candi from my stash. It's worked pretty well for a card made out of next to nothing! I think it would make a good masculine card - I'd use a rather lighter, lilacy purple for a woman.
I'm sharing this with

I love this Jane - beautiful colour to use and how did you get the mirror card to photograph so perfectly?
Thanks for playing along at Cuttlebug Mania this time x
Mirror card is really hard to photograph isn't it? Especially if you need to use flash, because it reflects so much. I'm not always successful, but I try to put my cards in front of a white screen, close to and at right angles to, a sunny window. The trouble is we don't get much sunshine at this time of year!
