Good morning. It's time for our Christmas Card Club challenge once again. I have missed the last two challenges. I really want to get back into crafting but haven't had the heart really but this seemed like a good time to make the effort. Margaret chose "Jingle Bells". I hope she feels my Christmas Bells is okay.
My Card
Recipe
7" square card - Anna Marie Crafts
Green pearlescent card - from stash
Ring Out Those Bells die - Crafters Companion Die'sire
Classic Oval dies - Spellbinders
Sentiment - JustRite
I haven't used this Create A Card die for a few years and I thought it would make a very easy starting point for me. I stamped the sentiment and die cut it then rubbed some green ink over to tie in with the ink used on the large die. A wooden embellishment and some red pearls were all it took.
This is not actually due until tomorrow but I will be posting a card for another DT then (what I call a "Blue Peter card!" you'll understand what I mean if you look in again tomorrow!))
Take care and enjoy your weekend.
