Hello everyone and welcome. So pleased you dropped by, especially at this busy time of year.
The last Challenge for 2017 has gone live at Crafty Cardmakers. June is our host and, surprise!, surprise!, the Theme is Christmas!!
As usual, anything you would like to enter is fine, as long as it is Christmas themed.
For this card I have used more of the papers from a 6" x 6" pad by Craft Smiths.
Instead of adding lace, I used some white cardstock which was edged with the Deep Edge Floral Vine border punch by Martha Stewart.
Placed some scrunched up cotton underneath the cluster for more texture and there is a small die cut doily hiding underneath there too.
For this card I have used more of the papers from a 6" x 6" pad by Craft Smiths.
Added micro beads and glitter to the flowers and, of course, I scattered some prills around the card as well.
The chipboard pieces are by Scrapmatts.
