Lighting the Tree

Hello. I know we all are busy right now so will keep post short. I greatly appreciate your taking the time to visit.



In card above I've used Pion Design papers from 'Days of Winter' and 'Flower Frames' collections. The dies are by Joy Crafts (Noor Design), Sizzix and Spellbinders. Frantage and bling added too. I gilded some paper edges with Krylon gold leafing pen.

I had intended to have lots of Christmas cards made this year but plans didn't work out! Only a small number of cards have been made and I'll show some over the next few days.

Thanks so much again for stopping by.

  15. A very beautiful card once again, though not in my favourite colours maybe.. :D I feel like you, it's so hard to do as many cards as we would love for our family and our friends, also our crafty friends in addition sometimes... Sending you good thoughts and good wishes, hope you will have an happy festive season my dear Nicola. Coco xx
