Winter love

Crumbs, I almost missed joining in over at Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge this week. A quick rummage through some Christmas images and I found a GorJuss girls twisted pyramage topper I'd assembled ages ago, still not sure about 'mouthless' images though:
I used:

 - 5" x 5" square white card blank

 - plain SU 'Crumb Cake' backing card from the snippets folder

 - patterned 'plaid' backing paper from LOTV's 'Winter Wishes' paper pad

 - the assembled topper plus sentiment, from a GorJuss Girls kit

 - a couple of sparkly 'crystal' snowflakes on either end of the sentiment just to 'bling' it up a bit

This week's theme at Hazel's is 'make it square or include a square on your creation'. I went for broke, square card, squares in the patterned paper - and of course the image is made up of pyramaged squares :)

This is also for Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra for April, where it's always anything goes.

I know I've shown this tip before, but for those who wonder how I often know the SU name of a card stock snippet:
It's a swatch of 2" squares of card stock with descriptive labels on the back which is really helpful when picking plain colours to go with patterned papers - the main reason I made it in the first place. Me not totally daft :)

    You not daft AT ALL mate!

    I'm with you on the mouthless images, but I quite like Gorjuss Girls - NOT Magnolias though.

    I really like this twisted pyramage card.

    Happy Easter xxxxx

    I know what you mean about mouthless images, I only own one ( used earlier in the week!!) which my "helpful" youngest Son has since drawn a mouth on and she looks so much better!! However in spite of having no mouth, your card is actually very lovely and she looks quite ethereal without one!! Have a lovely weekend xx

    Love your twister card, I only have one Gorjuss girl stamp bought in order to paper piece. Now Miss do I take it that you have every single colour on your swatch pad? Hugs Mrs A.

    What a brilliant idea...I did wonder how you always knew the colour!

    Your card is so cool. Not sure about the mouthless faces either but I have a friend who draws a mouth on!!! lol
    I have not tried those pyramidge type cards yet...but did buy a kit in England...so far I am hoarding it!!!

    What a sweet card, and I love the 3D look in spite of my not caring much for the mouthless/faceless images either! Great tip about the cardstock colors too!

    I hope they are not sausage roll crumbs, lol, oh yes I remember your tales.
    Fabulous card, you should draw a mouth, I would if I had any images without a proper face.Love the pyramage.
    Happy Easter to you my lovely friend.
