Coming down out of the freezing sky with its depths of light, like an angel, or a Buddha with wings, it was beautiful, and accurate, striking the snow and whatever was there with a force that left the imprint of the tips of its wings — five feet apart — and the grabbing thrust of its feet, and the indentation of what had been running through the white valleys of the snow — and then it rose, gracefully, and flew back to the frozen marshes to lurk there, like a little lighthouse, in the blue shadows — so I thought: maybe death isn’t darkness, after all, but so much light wrapping itself around us — as soft as feathers — that we are instantly weary of looking, and looking, and shut our eyes, not without amazement, and let ourselves be carried, as through the translucence of mica, to the river that is without the least dapple or shadow, that is nothing but light — scalding, aortal light — in which we are washed and washed out of our bones.

A Snowflakes Promise.......A Christmas Card

Todays cards are design team makes for the fabulous team over at A Snowflakes Promise Challenge Blog.I made the two cards using the same image just to see what they would look like in the two different colourways.Now I've made them I don't know which I prefer. I just so loved working with this wonderful image.
We are so lucky this challenge to have been sponsored by the wonderful team over at Lemon Shortbread. I hope that you will pop over to their digi store and take a look at the beautiful images. There's something for everything and the detail is amazing.
I hope that you will come on over to Snowflakes Promise and join in the fun. The challenge is only for christmas cards but it is a great way to get ahead with your own christmas card makes. The challenge itself runs for a fortnight so there is plenty of time to enter.
Well the coffee is calling and I'm still hoping to find my parlour..lol. A little bit more has been done but I still reckon that there is another days work until the couch is returned to normal. The cats are all complaining because as always, they don't like change. But I'm sorry, they will just have to put up with it..lol .So until tomorrow...take care and happy crafting.
