Greetings of the Season

This month's Christmas Cards All Year Round challenge is 'Leaves'.  I'm entering the Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge 'Anything Christmas Goes',  Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge 'Anything Goes', Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra 'Anything Goes as Long as It's Christmas', and Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge.


Card blank: 7" x 7" white silk
Image: Making Cards 'Christmas Special 2016' (magazine freebie)
Stamp: Paper Smooches 'Joyful Greeting'
Ink: Versafine Crimson Red
Card: Dark red matt
Paper: Lili of the Valley 'Festive Trimmings'
Other: Wink of Stella

I trimmed the green paper, layered it onto red card and attached it to the card front.  The pre-coloured image was trimmed, layered onto red card and attached to the left of the card blank, leaving the same width border on the top, bottom and left.  I stamped the sentiment and a small heart onto a scrap of paper from the same sheet of images (so it was the same white), trimmed it, layered it onto red card and attached it with Pinflair glue.  To finish I highlighted the image and sentiment with a Wink of Stella.

I beautiful card and such a pretty freebie image Kath and the LOTV paper goes perfectly and a great idea to stamp the sentiment from a scrap of the same paper to match the whites. x
