Happy Sunday afternoon. I thought I would show you a quickie Christmas card as that time is rapidly approaching (for those of us ostriches). I stamped our new Christmas wreath on white card and coloured it with Forest Moss distress ink by painting the leaves. I added some red twinkles for the berries. I cut it out with the Spellbinders Picot edge circles and added a small red bow of vintage ribbon. I embossed the white background using our large polka dot mask so it would have some tecture. The background was then wrapped with some of the red Bakers Twine around the side of the card three times. I added a white button and tied the twine into a bow. I matted that piece on another piece of white card and added some white pearl PVA glue dots to the edge. One more layer of white for balance (I don't like my dots to be on the outside) and the card is ready for Christmas giving. We have got to start thinking about Christmas as it will be upon us in no time at all! I can hear the groans already! All for now, Sue x

Getting ahead of yourself Girl - it's Sunday (at least I hope it is 'cos my kids will have missed school if today is Monday!). Anyway love the card, the stamp, the Baker's twine. Julia xxxx
Lovely card Sue, I have just sat and written out my Christmas cards, just to see if I needed to make anymore. I am happy to say that I have enough and now I get on to the serious stuff and just play x x
This is just wonderful Sue. Very simple, but oh so gorgeous. I like it really a lot.
I love the holly wreath. The die cut really sets it off well.
A wonderful christmas card.
