Hi Everyone
Happy Thursday!
I hope your day has been good.
This time next month we will all no-doubt be trying to stuff far too much food into our fridges and cupboards and possibly filling the house with smells of mincepies and baking.. .. .. and will probably have presents that still need wrapping!!
But for now .. .. life is just a little bit calmer and I have another Christmas card to share.
Now when I catch TV cooking competition programmes the contestants will quite annoyingly often say .. .. "this is me .. .. on a plate". Well now I am going to say that today's creation is actually me on a card .. .. .. pale but hopefully of interest LOL!!
This used:
Image: Penny Black "3741K" Filigree Tree
Sentiment: Penny Black "3267F" Christmas
Spellbinders Nestabilties: Classic Heart
Distress Ink Pads: Shaded Lilac, Tumbled Glass and Spun Sugar
X-Cut Corner Rounding Punch
Silver Embossing Powder
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Cord, Charm and Gems from my crafty stash box
I am going to enter my creation into the CAS Mix Up Card Challenge .. .. with not much time to spare! This month they would like to see masking and stamping along with another option which can be chosen from a very long list!
My mask was created by cutting a heart into a square of paper and inking through it .. .. my stamping was heat embossed and for my optional element I choose sewing.
So there we go .. .. another Christmas card ready! Off to link up now before I miss the deadline.
No excuse for not finding the heart today!
Many thanks for the good wishes and queries regarding Mr Heart. He is finally "nearly" lurgy free and I hope I am not tempting fate by saying "and I think the germs have managed to dodge me".
Catch you soon
