Good afternoon crafty people
Well, I've actually finished my first Christmas Card. I've seen sooooo many around blogland lately I started feeling all Christmassy, and as the weather had turned wet and cooler, I decided to make a festive card. I was going to chuck this image in the bin as she was inked up with distress inks yonks ago and I didn't like the colour, but then I found some papers that kinda went with her (and I discovered frantage, hee hee) and then I decided she didn't look that bad - apart from the attempt at dress pleats that is, rofl.
The papers are from Dovecraft, Vintage Christmas I think. I've recycled some sparkly tulle that I ripped off last years Christmas crackers to make a little bow, and popped a rose on from Wild Orchid Crafts. The little orange apples (I think they're apples) were a delightful free gift from Live and Love Crafts which arrived with the frantage, cheesecloth and lace which I've also used on this card. The swirl is a Marianne Design die.
I'm going to enter this card into the current Live and Love Crafts Challenge number 14 Warm or Cool Colours.
Thank you for visiting my blog today.
