I have been making more Christmas cards and we are not even in November. I am usually a mid December Christmas card maker so this is a very unusual year for me :) I also send very few cards because I am so disorganised but this year may just be different!
Here is a chalkboard snowflake card that I made using a fabulous, ornate snowflake image from Indigoblu:
The snowflake image is so striking that I decided not to add a sentiment on the front and stamped a Christmas greeting on the inside instead. I will link this up at Merry Mondays where the challenge is to use snowflakes and neutral colours and also at Simon Says Wednesday Challenge where anything goes.
I have also made a one layer Christmas card:
I stamped the wreath from Hero Arts in Festive Berries and silver embossed the Tim Holtz Christmas sentiment over the top. A few sequins finished the design. It is very simple but I quite like the quirky wreath with the angular font. I will join up at CAS on Sunday's current one layer challenge and at Addicted to Stamp's Clean and Simple challenge.
I hope to get the chance to do a bit more cardmaking at the weekend - fingers crossed.... However, I am off to carve pumpkins with the boys now who are both very excited about another sugar fuelled Halloween :)
Thanks for stopping by,

ReplyDeleteDon't blame you for not wanting to put a sentiment over that snowflake design, its so beautiful! And I agree about the curvy wreath and angular sentiment, they go perfectly together and love the red/white and silver combo. Maybe you'll be sending out a lot more cards this year than you thought!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful wreath!
