I think I actually have enough Christmas cards made now but that hasn't stopped me making a few extras seeing as I have so many lovely Christmas stamps and some gorgeous Christmas DP!
So, if you are still enjoying making Christmas cards then our new challenge at In The Pink is perfect for you with our theme of...
PINK CHRISTMAS
I think pink is a fabulous choice for Christmas cards (surprise surprise!) and I just happen to have a wonderful selection of pretty pink Maja Designs paper to choose from ;-)
I really wanted to have a go at paper piecing this image as I thought it would look good and be a great way to have the presents co-ordinate with the rest of the card. It was a weeny bit fiddly to do but I love the finished result :-) I added details with my Copics and some Stardust Stickles to the scarf.
I have made a border with my individual snowflake dies again and also used them behind the sentiment. I've kept the layout really simple this time, just adding my fave ribbon/twine combo to finish it off :-)
