Skating on thin ice.

**Happy Thanksgiving**   Hope everyone that is celebrating today is having a lovely time.

Here in Yorkshire, we had a smattering of the white stuff this morning and it sounds like there is more on the way for the weekend!
Here's a card that I was asked to make for a friend of a friend. All they asked for, was that it said 'to both of you', so I hope they like this.

 I don't have many 'couples' stamps, so I was happy when I found these freebie skaters from Cuddly Buddly. They are coloured with Copics and some gold stickles glitter. I also used a gold glitter pen for the skates.

All ruffled up!

I tried something a little different on this card, but I don't think it quite worked. I have been seeing some lovely ruffled ribbon lately and wanted to give it a go. I wasn't sure how to ruffle up the ribbon, and I ended up folding it over as it was going through the sewing machine. The result is that the ribbon is flat - not the effect I wanted at all. So if anyone knows where I'm going wrong, please let me know. Or, you could do a tut and show us all (wink* wink*)     :-))

 

 I used the fabulous Mary and Joseph image from LOTV, coloured with Copics and a Sakura glitter gel pen on their headbands. The Fa La La stamp is Catslife Press and my DP is My Mind's Eye, Signature Christmas.

I cut the large snowflake on my Slice machine ( Fa La La Design), covered it with Diamond Dust and added a gem brad in the centre. Then I trickled some stickles glitter around the edges of the stamps.
