Clearly Besotted 'Joy to the World' Christmas card


Hello everyone,

I'm back from holiday and had a great time with my daughter. Of course I am behind with everything and trying to play catch up, but I hope to be visiting everyone soon to see what has been going on while I've been away, 

It's time for the next challenge over at Simply Create Too

Simply Create Too

and this time we are asking for your Early Holiday Wishes. I came up with this card





I stamped the leaf wreath from Clearly Besotted Joy to the World stamp set in two shades of green and then over stamped the berries in red. I covered this with kraft card that I cut with a rectangle stitched die and then with an NBUS scalloped circle die from MFT to provide an aperture. I stamped and embossed the sentiment in white and then matted the whole panel to some red card before adding it to the base card on fun foam. I die cut and stamped the ribbon bow from the set, along with some stars and I used WOS glitter to give them a little sparkle.

I hope you will scoot over to the Simply Create Too blog to see what my Design Team mates have to inspire you with, and why not join in with us this time?



Thanks for stopping by


Hugs
Carol x
