Morning and I have one of those cards which worked in my mind but then not happy with result, think it's because not in a Christmas mood still here it is!!! I used my new Sweet Poppy stencil, stamped banner and sentiment from an Indigo Blu freebie set with the latest Creative Stamping mag, coloured with promarkers and the die-cut bows were a gift in a card swap so no packaging sorry.
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.

Such a pretty colours Carol….its a fabulous stencil and the banner looks great
Very wet this morning so one of those lazy days after the washing is done xxx
A beautiful card, lovely colour and papers, with the cute bow. As for Christmas I am with you. x
Beautiful card Carol, I have often admired that Sweet Poppy stencil it makes a great focal point xx
It's so pretty in pink and I like the additions to made to the stencil.
Its gorgeous Carol, I think the colour is really pretty too, I love this stencil, it took me ages to get my hands on one last year and I have only used it once, sadly, I should pull it out. xx
This is so lovely Carol! The stenciled ornament is beautiful and the pretty layered bow is the perfect touch. Thanks for sharing your inspiration with the October Challenge at A Cut Above.
I love it, the colour combo is not the typical one and that makes it more original. Hugs, María.
It's super pretty and I love the soft colours Carol. I struggle to get into Christmas mode every year and I won't mention how close it's getting now lol.
I love this bauble stencil Carol, so pretty, and have seen it around lately, gorgeous card..

It's gorgeous Carol! Lovely design and pretty colours- I do love the stencil- must get around to using mine again- and the added die cut bow is a lovely finishing touch.

I have long admired that stencil. I love the color you used to create the image. And I think your card is lovely, even if you're not totally happy with it.
Lovely soft and love the traditional elements! Hugs, Gerrina
Such pretty colours Carol and the added bows are a great touch.
I just love that ornament stencil - so many ways to use it. The banner in the centre is just perfect :)
So gorgeous in that non-traditional color!!
Great use of the fab bauble stencil, it makes such a super card

You might not be too happy with it, but it works. I like you used a scallop edge base card which adds to the elegance. CarolG
Fabulous festive card. Its so annoying when we have a vision in our mind but just doesn't come out as good as we see it.....often happens to me. Hopefully you find your Christmas mojo soon, hard cards to make when not in the mood!
your stamped bauble is lovely, thanks for sharing at Crafty Catz challenge, Tilly
Such a pretty Christmas card, like that the ornament is in a nontraditional color. The stencil is so pretty and big. Hope you have a great day!

Just beautiful! Thanks for joining us at 613 Avenue Create!
Your first Christmas card is a beauty! That lovely stencil works so well in pink. I like to make at least one pink Christmas card each year. The extra little die cut bows are an especially nice touch!
Your first Christmas card has a lovely festive feel, and the Sweet Poppy stencil creates a beautiful focal point. I really like the combination of the stamped banner and sentiment with the softly colored details, and those die-cut bows add a wonderful finishing touch. Even if you are not quite in the Christmas spirit yet, you have created a charming holiday card with lots of seasonal appeal.
Very pretty ornament & the bows really top it off! Nice.
It’s a very pretty card. Not sure what you’re unhappy about - I would have loved to have made this! xxx
A truly fantastic stencil! And an unusual yet beautiful color. Your embellishment with those charming bows looks absolutely fabulous, and the lovely background paper rounds off this wonderful Christmas card perfectly. I especially like the fact that you placed the Christmas bauble at a slight angle.
Hugs, Uschi
I'm definitely not even a toe into Christmas yet and that is such a pretty card and love that stencil too. Lovely shades of pink - Michelle x
Beautiful card!!!
Well, I love it. Your stenciling is gorgeous and I love the non-traditional Christmas colors...You are not alone, I'm not ready for Christmas yet.
