Good morning. Time again for our Christmas Card Club. Two weeks certainly shoot round! Today Carol is hosting the challenge and she wants to see non traditional colours. I rarely use pink at Christmas so I decided that was the colour to use this time.
My Card
Recipe
62 square white base card - Rymans
Pink card stock - old stash
Pierced Noble square dies - Sue Wilson
Stitched Flags - Sue Wilson
Snowflake tree die - Britannia
Falling Snow e/f - Sue Wilson
pearls - The Hobby House
Sentiment - computer generated
A very CAS and almost flat card. I added the sentiment flag with foam pads to give just a little dimension and that was it. Job done.
The weather has been quite good this week and the weekend is set to be good too in most places. I'm sorry if you are in the areas that are due for hurricane-type conditions. And poor Cumbria is taking a battering with the rain again. I have managed to get quite a bit of walking done this week. I've gone with the walking instead of my usual cycling because I have a problem with my left thumb and it is causing a lot of pain when trying to change gear. Sometimes it is so painful that I can't change back up when I have been in a low gear. Hopefully by resting it for a few weeks it will improve. The joys of arthritis ... lol.
Enjoy the weekend and I will be back again tomorrow.
Take care.
Christine this is just beautiful. Love the tree and colours.xxHave a lovely weekend.♥
