Another Christmas card.

I'm cracking on with my crimbo cards and enjoying it for a change, I don't feel so stressed this year, well not yet anyway. I have used another LOTV square, I'm loving these and I have just ordered some more as they are great value for money. I haveembellished the already coloured image with some GD, matted to some blue Mirror CS, the DP is from forever friends, the sentiment is from ginger house I think and the circle sentiment is from LOTV, I die cut the snowflakes using various dies and finished off with some pearls and blue gems.

LOTV Christmas card

This is a card request from my friend Antonia. I have used a LOTV square ideal for quick crimbo cards. These are already coloured so I put thistogether pretty quickly. I matted the image to some red mirror CS and added the circle sentiment which is from cats life press. The Snowflake DP I have had for 4 years, the other DP is from Dovecraft, i have added a red gingham border, added some red tulle tied in a bow and added a present charm, the top flower I got from Poundland, the bottom gingham flower I made using left over ribbon and added a red rose to the centre and stickled it up, finished off with a photo corner, some pearls and gems, the small circle sentiment is LOTV and the other one at the bottom is computer generated.
