Another Christmas card today. Beccy's Month of Holiday Cards Challenge is up to the letter 'C', so I've included Candles, Cross-stitching, Crimson and Card Candi on my card.
I used a Die-namics 'Cross-Stitch Tag' die and trimmed off the top to make a rectangle. The cross-stitched candle pattern was done with crochet cotton. The background was embossed with a Creative Expressions 'Frosty Swirls' e/f. I added three Card Candi to the panel across the middle.
I am joining in the following challenges:

Your card is beautiful Liz, you've done a wonderful job putting it together. It makes me think of candles burning in the window while the snow flies in flurries outside. The stitching you added is wonderful, definitely a labour of love!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
