Christmas Card

Morning Everyone

Today im sharing a little Christmas card.


6x6 Ivory card base, I was following a sketch by a friend and it had the look of a ribbon wrapped present to me so thats what i went with.  I used papers all from the same paper pad and ivory base card as was softer than white which was too harsh with the paper.  I matted a sheet of the paper onto brown card, wrapped with a lovely red ribbon and added to the base card.  I them die cut the sentiment circle from the same brown card, mounted onto an ivory circle and added to the middle.  I then die cut some pine cones and foliage from the same paper pad and arrange in the top right corner.  A little chipboard birdie to finish - id added a light touch of red to his breast like a little Robin.



A close up on my pine cone and pine branches. 


Items Used:
BasicGrey 'Evergreen' 6x6 paperpad
Ivory & brown cardstocks
Red ribbon
Chipboard Bird
MFT Christmas sentiment circle
Spellbinder circle dies


Thank you everyone for stopping by once again.  I hope you all have a good week, i have 3 weeks of school half terms ahead, with family down from the Isle of Lewis this week for theirs, then its 'my girls' half term next week and then the week after that its more cousins down for their half term. Would be too simple for them to all be the same week wouldn't it๐Ÿ˜ Still looking forward to all the family catch up time. Emma
