ReplyDeleteDear Nicola, your card brings the true spirit of Christmas, with those velvet mittens, on the beautiful background of music paper, the sweet red sprigs, and lovely buttons. Such wonderful Christmas colors, too. So gorgeous !!

Greetings, Odette.
Oh how beautiful Nicola, you conjured up memories of magical winters in Canada for me when my brother and I would go sledging, all bundled up in scarves and mittens (mine were always red!)... I love your beautiful red mittens with the wonderful lace bows. The corrugated card goes so well with the music sheet, lovely toning ribbon and the lovely chipboard stockings. A beautiful design! Hugs, Anne xx
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous Nicola xxx
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous Christmas card Nicola! I love the rich red tones, I really want to reach out and touch those mittens! Beautiful neutrals, and the touches of soft gold glitter are simply magical! hugs and happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Pamellia in saying how much I wish I could caress this beautiful make! The wooden stockings look so beautiful over those luxurious mittens! How wonderful this is! Big Christmas hugs to you, my friend!
ReplyDeleteWaouh ! Another beauty here ! I like so much this deep red colour, really the colour of red velvet. It is very nicely associated with ivory tones. I payed attention to all the small buttons, such a clever and lovely idea to have spread them like you did all over the card surface creating a unique decoration. Bravo !
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful christmas card.....I love the papers and the lovely mittens.
ReplyDeleteThanx for joining us at WLVC's last challenge and at the Inky Chicks challenge.
