I'm not doing very well with my plan to get ahead with my Christmas cards so am trying to rectify that a little.
This card combines a few challenges as my mojo had gone awol and I needed all the help I could get!
This follows the current sketch over at Christmas Challenges With Sketches and I found it a lot of fun to follow. My other aim is to use up some of the stacks of papers I've got from various magazines, and all the papers on this card are from Making Cards magazines. I love the paper with the santa and penguins on! I also used some dark green cardstock which I embossed with a snowflakes embossing folder but sadly this doesn't show up very well in the photo.
The main image uses one of the SWALK Winter Cheer stamps (first inking for this stamp), stamped onto watercolour card and painted with Lyra's. Finally, three little heart-shaped buttons, threaded with metallic cord, were added to the card.
My card is also for the following:
Winter Wonderland - A Christmas Card
Jingle Belles - Use buttons
Christmas Cards All Year Round - Hearts (the buttons)
Sparkles Christmas Challenge - Anything Goes
Thanks for stopping by.
