I picked inspiration from the layout of the CASE card over at CASEing Christmas. I had several ideas for this card, but I went with my original idea of using my ice skates die from Tim Holtz.
The flower of the CASE card has a metallic look, that what made me think of the skates.
Even though I love purple I went with warm grey colored DPs. The one I used for the banner has Christmas greetings in Norwegian printed on it, so I felt it wasn't necessary to add a sentiment.
I also used a MB die cut snowflake I had in my box of already cut elements, and I used a punch to make the smaller ones. I added purple gems to their centres. For the iceskates I used silver mirri card and white paper. I inked the heals using walnut DI. I used sewing thread for the laces and added two bows made with seambiding ribbon.
This card is for these challenges:
1) CASE-ing Christmas - CASE #2
2) Die Cut Divas - ANYTHING GOES
3) Cut it Up - #62 Cut It Up
4) Live & Love Crafts Challenge - #31 Winter Sports
5) ABC Christmas Challenge - A is for Anything Christmas

Oh wow Pia, this card is just amazing!! I'm in love with it!! You give it a fabulous design, so harmonious! It's very feminine and romantic with the lace background and these skates with the sewing laces and the gorgous bows! The warm grey looks so pretty with the white snowflakes and it really seems light purple! So much beautiful CASE and one can see it's made from the heart!!
Fantastic job, I want to thank you for all you wonderful comments you left on my blog. Not sure on the size of the skates but I have the large skates and still want to use them this year. I love what you did with them, they worked wonderful following the sketch. Love your bow and the background paper. Beautiful job.
