52 Christmas Crackers 2014 - Week 19

Well, better late than never!

I took my sweet time getting this week's Christmas card photographed. So if you remember correctly this week's prompt is courtesy of the prompt jar and involves using the following three elements on a card:

Vellum
Stitching
Navy

And here's my very simple card using all three:

Vellum: Hambly Screen Prints
Dies: Avery Elle, Lawn Fawn, Memory Box
Stamp: PTI
Other: 3D foam, sewing machine

I made the cardblank from some old Stampin' Up cardstock I had in my stash, and as it's a US sized card, I gave the background die from this Avery Elle set a whirl to cut the vellum in exactly the spot I wanted for the pattern before stitching it onto the card:

I then die cut a piece of white cardstock with my favourite Memory Box border die - country landscape and attached the die cut to a piece of navy card cutting and ran it through the Big Shot with the Lawn Fawn stitched journaling card:

And finally, finished off with a greeting from PTI's Happiest of Holidays set.

Probably not worth the wait, but it's been a busy old week and has included some reading catch-up time - it seemed that all my Nora Roberts reservations at the library came in at once. I've read:

I'm rather looking forward to the final book in the latest witchy trilogy from Nora, despite it being a bit of a rehash of similar trilogies she has written in the past.

This instalment in the In Death series was a bit on the dull side... hoping the next one will have some of the magic back.

And finally, I read The Collector from start to finish today. One of the better stand-alone books she's written in recent years. :)

Right, well I am wondering what book to start next - it might be the latest Jill Mansell:

Right, well best go sort out my tea - a busy day in Ikea looms tomorrow as we try and get some organizational bits and bobs for my mum and dad's new kitchen, but also hoping to find something that will fit my Raskog trolley now that the Antonius divider trays are unavailable... Hm....

Love the contrast of navy and white in your card. Really liking the dies too.

Just managed to finish my card before going off to Paris tomorrow.
