PSC22: Christmas Trimmings

PERFECT SENTIMENTS CHALLENGE

CHRISTMAS TRIMMINGS.

This weeks challenge is to make a Christmas card. My first thought was, it's MARCH! But I actually had a great time making this card. It gave me lots of thoughts about making a few of these each month so I would be ready when Christmas really does come around. So here is what I came up with.

I used a standard 4A card in red. Then I cut a piece of white and ran it through my Snowflake embossing pouch. I love this pouch. Then to cut the edges I use4d one of my lacy Fiskars edge cutters. I found this small strip of braided lace ribbon and placed it along the edge.

I used my santa stamp, colour him in and put him in the bottom corner with 5 dot stickers to give him some lift off of the page.

I cut out the sentiment with my circle cutter and placed in on top of a red lace doily. I made my ribbon out of two colors. I placed a 1/4" red over top of a 1/2" white. I like the layered look to this.

For the inside I used the same Fiskers edge cutter and cut both sides of the strip to really give it a lacy look. I like to finish the inside in some way.
