Christmas Card Club

Stampin' Up! Christmas Card
 This fortnight's challenge for Christmas Card Club is from Sylvie, who lives in Gibraltar and I'm very envious of her sunshine, but she warms up us with her lovely projects photographed often on beautiful days with the sun shining.  She asked us this time to make a card for Christmas using red and white. 

Mine errs on the side of clean and simple with some of my new products.  The petals a plenty embossing folder is just gorgeous with it's pretty all over flower design.  I've just embossed half of my card base and then stamped using a post it note mask in real red using part of the Creative Elements Stampin' Up! set.  A little bit of silver glimmer paper goes a long way in adding sparkle to your card and a sentiment heat embossed onto an Apothecary Accents Framelit (try saying that three or more times quickly!!)  with some mini brads give the Christmas message. 

It also goes along with the Less is More challenge of use silver on your card and as it's a Christmas card it also suits the clean and simple Christmas Card challenge at St Luke's
