Not what I set out to make

I'm awfully late for Rudolph Day this month - April just seems to have slipped away and I thought it was still days and days away!

When I set out to make this card, I had in mind a delicate, elegant, subtle winter scene with lots of white and soft blues, with perhaps a hint of kraft for contrast.

But when I started to leaf through the Christmas papers that I've hoarded  collected over the last few years,  it turned into something very different! Once I'd spotted that little red truck, it just cried out to be made into the feature of the card....


Lots of die cutting, lots of layers and a bit of a fight with the ribbon (I only had a little bit and the first bow I made fell apart when the ribbon actually disintegrated in my hands!) and the card had eventually made itself. looking absolutely nothing like what I'd set out to create!

    It's very pretty, even if it isn't what you expected. Love Dawn x

    It might not look how you wanted but it's still a beautiful card Jane, I love the reds and blues together.

    I think that is such a stunning bow. So perfect!
    Your card is bright and cheery and spot on trend with that little red truck!

    Thanks for taking part in the April Rudolph Days Challenge.
