Back to Christmas

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

With Christmas fast approaching, I'm back to doing Christmas cards.




This was Inspired By this lovely photo.


I love the kraft and white color scheme and reversed the colors of the tree and 
snowflake beside the sign.  And I've addedtexture to the tree inspired 
by the afghan on the couch and shiplap wall.

I love this champagne glitter paper. It sparkles but isn't as bright as the gold.

I've randomly used the WOW embossing pen on the tree and heat embossed
for a little added sparkle and shine.

You can see the sparkle better here.

Love the kraft and white colour combination with the addition of the champagne glitter cs! Great CAS design with the added interest of the pierced rectangle die and the bit of sparkle on the tree.

I love the white and gold on kraft card Bonnie, and the stylised dry embossed tree looks so pretty with the added bits of gold using the embossing pen and then the wonderful snowflakes and a great sentiment too. x

Another beauty, Bonnie! Love the white tree on the kraft background. Gorgeous snowflakes in the glittery copper. xx

Beautifully designed and built Bonnie. I love the extra touch of random embossing on the tree’s texture.

I find this so very beautiful, Bonnie. Mayhaps one of my fave Christmas cards this year. Love the soft kraft and white. I have some triangle dies and been wanting to make some tree cards, but I laid out all this coloring... we'll see.

So simple and yet so perfect. Kraft and white is always gorgeous. I don't really know why we don'e use kraft more often xx

This card is so very elegant !! I am delighted to look at all the symmetry of this card and adding a random golden glow brings a bit of movement to this design. This is a really great project, Bonnie!
