Merry and Bright Christmas

Good morning!  Happy Tuesday!  Well, despite working on them all day yesterday, I am still not done with my Christmas cards.  Most are ready to go, but as always, I found I was a couple cards short when I double-checked my final list.  So I'm having to make up a couple of quick cards before I head to the post office today.

Here is one that I have completed:


My card base and mats are SU Handsome Hunter and the patterned papers are from the Bo Bunny Rejoice 6x6 pad.  Being short on time, I used one of the gorgeous new Whimsy Prints I won a couple of weeks ago!  I picked Chloe's Little Light from the Elisabeth Bell Christmas Joy Whimsy Prints Collection.  The darling images in this set are all hand-colored by Whimsy Stamps Senior Designer, Simonne Clay, then digitally reproduced so they are all ready to add to your cards!  I couldn't come close to Simonne's wonderful coloring if I tried!  I added some Liquid Pearls and Stickles here and there as accents. The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  It was part of the recent Winter Club.  A simple bow finished my card.

I am entering my card in the following challenges:
Friday Sketch Challenge #32 (Angela's sketch)
Whimsy Stamps Challenge #54 (anything goes but must be festive)
The Squirrel and The Fox #33 (Christmas)

Here is FSC #32:



Thanks for stopping by!  I hope to be around to your blogs later as soon as I get home.

Have a great day!

  5. Hi Carla, it's so nice to visit your blog again. Long time, but I think I can slowly join the cardmaking world again. I've missed it.

    Your card is precious with the most adorable image. Congrats on getting to the end of the Christmas card making.

    Now, you know you would like to see a big snow, right? LOL
