Yippee, Friday is here! And a bigger yippee as I think this is my last Christmas card-although I won't confirm that as I had thought I had finished but then realised, alas, I had one more to do!
I did however have some exciting inspiration for this card.
First I had been seeing quite a few gorgeous Xmas cards made for the 'white on white' challenge at Make My Monday and wanted to join in. Plus I loved some of the cards made for the 'bauble' challenge at Addicted to CAS, so yet another excuse to play. These are 2 new challenges to me and I am enjoying taking part. Then finally, today, the latest fab sketch at CAS(E) this sketch inspired me to get moving.
I apologise for the shadows in the photo but it was difficult to get the light right, the dark nights and gloomy days are making it more difficult but I hope you get the idea and can see the sparkly paper. All of the die cuts, linen embossing plate and sentiment are from PTI.
CAS, glittery, bright red, pearls, silver string and my beloved linen impression plate-I love my last Christmas card and hope you do too!
And today I got one more month of my calendar topper made, so 8 months down, 4 to go!!

A beautiful card Sandie - you are so right though about trying to photograph these kinds of cards - it's almost impossible! Thanks for joining in this week at MMM - Jacqueline xx
ReplyDeleteI can see the gorgeous linen impression plate in the background too! Don't you love how elegant the white on white looks? I'm always surprised how much I love it. Your card is awesome. And I'm with you...I think I'm done with cards, but now need some gift card holders!!
