Morning and 1st of the second half of the month?????? I have two DT posts today the second one for the Christmas challenge at Pearly Sparkles.
It's been sooo hot my Christmas mojo was nil and I have another tomorrow=so went looking through my stamps and found some circle ones from Chocolate Baroque so both similar(not sorry at all lol)
The images were coloured with promarkers and added glossy accents,the dies from Spellibinders and I added distress inks whilst still in the die,P.paper is Evening Blooms from The Paper Boutique.

ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about Christmas mojo. I actually made a few very early in the year and then nothing. I always struggle to make them out of season. I don't think you need to worry about this one, it is perfectly lovely xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful image with the glowing candles! Love the elegant looking circle frame and your focal image with the pop of red! Nicely done my friend!

Really gorgeous and you are making some progress with Christmas cards. No heat on our Oregon coast, but plenty of wind. Typical July. I need to water the garden, but it's hard to say where the water will wind up.
ReplyDeleteSuch an elegant card, Carol. The pretty die cut doily frames that traditional festive image perfectly...
