Hi and welcome to my blog. The lovely Asha is our new hostess at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown this week, and she has set a wonderful sketch for us to follow. I used “Be of Good Cheer” Christmas paper and my heart framelits from Stampin’ Up to make this card …
I’ve been tidying my craft room again and finding all kinds of treasures and pretties! I came across a few sheets of the Be of Good Cheer Christmas dsp from a little while ago and decided it would work well with this week’s sketch…
I decided against tying a bow in the ribbon and instead added a snowflake embellishment with a pretty pearl centre.
For a change, I stamped the sentiment onto the heart shape as the paper was a bit too busy to stamp on…
I hope you like my card for this week. I find following a sketch really helps me to focus and I just love how the card came together.
Now it’s time to see what the rest of the Design Team have been making for you.
