Time once again for another Rudolph Days Challenge, they seem to be coming around really quickly even though we've been in lockdown. I must say I'm sorry for not having this posted earlier, normally I schedule my post the night before. But I'm having a few issues with my Mum at the moment and completely forgot to do it last night. Once this is live I'll will be off to see her again today. Anyway onto my card. I've been having a bit of a sort out during the last couple of weeks and I found a box of stamps and dies that I'm ashamed to say had never been used. They are by Sheena Douglas and from a Christmas Collection that she bought out in 2018 (No longer available). I used the Snowflake corner die and silver Mirri card and one of the stamps from the set. First I inked around the four sides of my card base and then added the sentiment with Archival Watering Can. Next I added the Snowflake corners and added some gems to each snowflake. Finally I added small fairies from Lavinia Stamps again using Archival Watering Can ink. I do hope that you can join in the fun this month, as always Maureen has a wonderful prize that some lucky person will win after being chosen at random.
I made five cards in total, three cards with a turquiose blue and two with shaded lilac DI.
Hope that this finds you all well and staying safe.
Thank you for taking the time to look and your kind comments which are always appreciated.

This card is so beautiful, Sue! Your beautiful inky skies and pretty stamps and dies will inspire many, I am sure. I really like the inky colours you chose.
I hope your Mum will be OK. It is a terrible time to be poorly right now. I know you and Steve are the best of children, so giving and good to your parents. Your parents are so lucky to have you both, helping them along!

I love both colours you've used for this gorgeous design Sue but especially the blue. What a brilliant idea to add the fairies - the magic of snowflakes! - and they work so well with the sentiment. Hope all is well with your mum. Vicky x

The snowflake corners are beautiful in silver, Sue! The soft gray ink suits the design perfectly! Love both the blue and the lilac color! Wow to getting five cards done!

Can't decide which color I like the best--both are so beautiful! Hope your mom improves.
Sorry I am so late with commenting. Can only type for a bit as left handed which is the affected shoulder. The dentist has just rung and brought my appt forward to next Monday and my heart is now racing just thinking about having to venture out. I have made face masks (several in fact for both of us) and will be wearing one right up until the point of open wide!!!
Your snow flake cards are wonderful. Loved the turquoise and then
I spotted the purple and now can’t decide between the two. Hugs Mrs A.
Such pretty cards Sue, I love the colours and design. I’m glad it’s not just me that finds unused crafty items In their stash!
I hope your Mum is ok.
