Merry Christmas!

It’s bittersweet, isn’t it?

We wait all year for this day (at least, I do!) and it comes.

Then as quickly as it comes, it goes.

Just like our wedding day or the birth of our children (I'm exaggerating slightly, but you kwim) the day is a whirlwind of activity and you wonder why and how the hours flew by so quickly.

I hope that your Christmas day brings peace and happiness, and that time stands still long enough for you to cherish the precious moments with your loved ones.

Notes about the card:
  • I usually reserve this kind of technique for a tag, but it’s fun to do with a card too!
  • I misted my craft mat with various glimmer mists and smooshed the cardstock into the puddle
  • I dried the cardstock with a heat tool then I flat-ironed it flat.
  • Then I stamped various sentiments (Technique Tuesday Believe by Ali Edwards) in Brilliance black ink and set aside to dry
  • Once the ink was dry I distressed the edges with brown ink
  • I wrapped a little piece of silver cord around the main panel and stuck it to the card front

A beautiful little felt snowflake added a little femininity to the card and I was done!

  2. Tobi, I freakin' love this card. This may be my inspiration for my Christmas Cards next year. I didn't make enough to send out this year. There is a challenge blog called Jingle Bells and they only make Christmas themed cards. I swear I might try to join in this year and have 50 cards by the end of the year. That would be great for you with the flower shop.
