FESTIVE FRIDAY CHALLENGE #17

I have been inspired by Nicole Derendorf's Festive Friday Challenge, to make a start on Christmas cards.  I have made ONE already (so proud of myself!) for a recent Just Add Ink challenge, but I need to now keep the ball rolling!

This week's challenge is to use the following sketch to create a Christmas card inspired by one of the Design Team samples:







I loved the way Carolyn used the Petals-a-Plenty embossing folder, and Riding Hood Red pleated satin ribbon, so I've incorporated those two elements on my card.





Stamps: Welcome Christmas, Season of Joy, Delightful Decorations
Card: Riding Hood Red, Old Olive, Whisper White
DSP: Letters to Santa Designer Series Paper
Ink: Riding Hood Red, Old Olive and Early Espresso stampin' pads
Other: 2 1/2" Circle punch, 1 1/4" Circle punch, 3/4" Circle punch, 1 3/4" Circle punch, Riding Hood Red pleated satin ribbon, Cherry Cobbler baker's twine, Basic Rhinestones, stampin' dimensionals, sponge dauber, Petals-a-Plenty embossing folder








ETA:  I was named as winner of this challenge - thanks, Nicole!

    What a lovely card. Love the stamping directly onto the dsp. I don't know whether to feel inspired or panicky when I see that you have already started to make Christmas cards!

    What a lovely start to your Christmas card collection. I think we should set ourselves a goal of making 2 Christmas cards a week from now until christmas. It might make November a little less stressful.
