Good morning and I apologise for my long absence. Usually I am a day early with my Christmas Card Club card but this time I am very late - an entire week!! Rachel was our hostess for this challenge and she has asked us to use texture on our cards.
My Card
Recipe
6" square base card - Rymans
lattice snowflake e/f - Creative Expressions

It wasn't easy to get a decent picture unfortunately. The light bounced off the foil and made it very bright, or the exact opposite and it was too dark. I have chosen the best of a bad bunch.
Unfortunately although I do have some stencils, masks and texture pastes I don't have anything that would do for a Christmas card. Instead I used two different embossing folders to give some texture and also ribbon and pearls. Hope this is okay Rachel. It has made me realise that I will need to get some Christmas masks though, so you have done me a favour!
Take care everybody and please keep warm and safe.

WOW! May be late, but indeed well worth waiting for! Love the magnificent poinsettia EF..just beautiful with the blaze of red. Like the corner ribbons too. I'm always so amazed at the magazine freebies ya'll get in the UK. This will be such a versatile & useful folder..and certainly one gorgeous card! TFS & Have a happy Valentine's Day too.
