It's a Christmas card.
And why is there a Christmas card being featured on my blog today?
Well it's Friday, so that means it's another DCM dare! And my fellow Christmas-stash-lover-in-crime DT teamie Jo has set a challenge to feature Father Christmas on a card. Go check out all the fab cards on the DCM blog, even if you don't fancy contemplating Christmas cards there is one cool card that's definitely going to make you smile. ;o)
Anyway for my card I used:
Card blank: DCWV
Paper: Echo Park, American Crafts
Stamps: Papertrey Ink
Sticker: Echo Park
Dies: Spellbinders, Papertrey Ink
Felt: Papertrey Ink
Bling: Prima
Other: Striped ribbon, Frosted Lace and Platinum Stickles, 3D foam, Copics, Sanding file
It doesn't really show up so well in the photo but I used Frosted Lace Stickles all round the tag and to accent the lines inside.
So there you have it, possibly my only Christmas card of the summer. ;o)
Stunning papers and ribbon - an absolutely gorgeous Christmas card Nat and the little Santa is fab!
