Christmas!!!

 Morning for the last few days my living room has looked like a ransacked craft shop-with box of papers/stamps and die cuts out trying to get my mojo going-and a few trips to pinterest - and after checking card drawer I found 6 half finished cards-result still have 6 half finished cards BUT three floral cards and 3 yes actually three Christmas cards would you believe Leslie lol. I made a diamond point card using papers I won but had no brand name on the packet, image from Chocolate Baroque coloured with promarkers and added glossy accents, circle die-cuts from My Favourite Things.




Please note if any challenges have digi images for prizes I am just playing for fun and support as I don't have a printer

Beautiful! Lovely colors and such a unique design. Love the candles. Thanks for sharing with us at A Cut Above's November Challenge.

The diamond point fold makes such a striking presentation and really highlights your beautiful coloring. The candle image feels warm and festive, and the glossy accents add such a polished touch. It is inspiring to see how you kept going and ended up with three Christmas cards.

Another very interesting card format that makes the pretty motif stand out very well.

Chris said...

Glad you found some of that missing mojo Carol- your card is gorgeous, love the colours and that clever fold. My craft room looks like a bomb has hit it just now, it's always messy but I seem to have excelled myself... too many projects on the go, most will probably go in the bin!
