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.

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.

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
ReplyDeleteFabulous 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!
ReplyDeleteyour stamped bauble is lovely, thanks for sharing at Crafty Catz challenge, Tilly

Just beautiful! Thanks for joining us at 613 Avenue Create!
ReplyDeleteYour 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!
