Hello all, back again with another Christmas card to share, a quick make this time, so I’ll be quick in telling you about it.  I used the sketch at Sketch Saturday, the colour combo is from Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge and the image/sentiment is inspired by the lovely girls at Winter Wonderland.  That lot all conspired to make this!

The large sentiment is from a Recollections clear set and it was stamped in Brilliance Ivy Pearlescent then covered with Versamark ink and heat embossed with Tim Holtz embossing powder.  That powder has really been my “thing” this year!  It was mounted on to green card that had been put through a Fiskars crimping tool.

The kraft card was also crimped and then swiped with a white ink pad.  The pink card was embossed with two different Cuttlebug embossing folders and the third piece used a Darice embossing folder.  The only “embellishment” is the Memory Box Corner Bow dies which was cut from the green cardstock that the large sentiment panel was matted on to.

Very simple indeed compared to yesterdays card and another flat one for the Christmas card box, it’s only 30 days away peeps!  Scary huh!
