Christmas Greetings
Good Sunday morning all! I had a browse through my background stash and found this unusual piece that was just large enough for a slimline card. I used Pumpkin Patch, Groovy Grape and Coral Crush Pixie Sparkles on this piece. I used the Slimline Looped Rectangles and cut it. I added it to a piece of Amethyst card as a mat. I cut the ornaments from the Slimline Christmas Accessories and the Festive Accessories die sets out of Antique Gold card and Gold Mirror card. I used the small beaded swag from the Christmas Shadow Box to connect all the ornaments across the top of the card. I cut the Christmas Greetings sentiment out of antique gold and seated it on a shadow backing cut in white. I attached the sentiment to the card with mounting foam. I cut the Looped Rectangles in the next larger size in white and attached the entire card to it. The card was completed with white and purple mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 5 1/4" x 9 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue.
I think I need to see this card in real life
sorry I am not sure about it I expect it is beautiful.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
Hi Sue.
This is beautiful. I've used my Christmas accessories baubles so much this year, I used the pretty delicate entwined wire type dies that come in 2 sized with the Bauble Branch and the little bow die from this accessory set to place on the top where the bauble meets your swag and I used your little baubles as a pattern to cut round and placed the same colour behind them as I used as a mat, your dark plum with the vintage gold goes amazingly well. Today's inspiration explains just how versatile your collection is and can all be mixed and matched in some way. Thank you for sharing your ideas with us.
Sending love to you both and all that pop in today xx
Morning Sue, lovely card and quite appropriate for me as I'll be putting baubles on my tree, today. A little behind with Christmas preparations due to mobility problems which prevented me from climbing into the loft to get to my Christmas tat or should I say, "stash'? lol
Keep warm everyone!!

Hello Sue
This is so beautiful and slimline so easy to post. Though the post is so slow I posted my sisters 2 weeks ago and they received it yesterday. Take care everyone x
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, oh how pretty this looks, love the baubles, I had forgotten about them, and this is such a pretty slimline card, ideal for posting, I will have to have a go at this one.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hi Sue
A lovely card. I haven’t made any bauble cards this year so this will be inspiration for next year.

Hi Sue. What unusual colours for a Christmas card, but I think they really work to give a more modern feel to it. This has given us all food for thought!

Hi Sue
Very pretty slimline card.
Love Helen Bell
Very pretty and vintage/shabby chic feeling card . Love it....
Love the small baubles, just not sure about the colours. Thank you Sue.
Hi Sue, a lovely contemporary style of card. There is no law saying what colours we can use for Christmas cards and although I tend to lean towards the traditional I do like to mix it up a bit sometimes and surprise my friends :-). I find the baubles very useful especially for aperture cards.
