Beccy's Month of Holiday Cards Challenge is up to the letter 'S'. My card has Santa, Stars, Stitching and a Sentiment.
I used an MFT 'Cross-Stitch Tag' die, which I cut into a rectangle. I cross-stitched a Santa design and layered on a red mat. The bottom half of the background was embossed with a Creative Espressions 'Shimmering Stars' e/f. I added a strip of ribbon before attaching the topper with foam tape. The sentiment is a Papermania stamp and I put a little clear gem in the sentiment to add some sparkle.
I am joining in the following challenges with this card.
A second card to share today. I made this card a while ago for a card swap and forgot to post on my blog.
I used Sue Wilson 'Adorned Hexagons', 'Double Stitched Hexagons' and 'String Flowers' dies to make my hexagonal easel card.
A great cross-stitch Father Christmas Liz, love the colours and diecut layers on the hexagonal card
ReplyDeleteLove the cross-stitch Liz, I hope it can be removed and used as a little decoration... it's so cute! The blue, red and white colour scheme is fabulous and I like the embossed star pattern on the bottom panel.
ReplyDeleteYour second card is fantastic too! I always love a good easel card. Fabulous shape and gorgeous colours.
Cheers,
Beccy
