Hi all,
I'm totally behind again today! Sorry guys. I'll try to catch up later!
I spent a little time crafting today, and decided to make a patchwork Christmas card, inspired by one of the challenges over at Beccy's Place this month. For those who didn't know this yet, there's a new Christmas card challenge every day this month! Luckily, you don't need to post them up on the same day, because this one was inspired by the 11th day!
I punched a heap of squares from some LOTV paper, then arranged them and drew on faux stitching. The sentiment is a Kaisercraft stamp cut with an X-cut die. I also added a Spellbinders flourish, and layered a couple of Sizzix snowflakes, before mounting everything on kraft card, more faux stitching and some red pearls and finally attached it all to a white card base.
Et voilà! I managed to make a Christmas card without a LOTV image! There's a first time for everything! (Ok, so I still used LOTV paper. Certain habits are just too hard to break, lol)
I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Beccy's Place - A month of Holiday cards - day 11
Ohh la la creations - stitching real or faux
Crafty bloggers network - Christmas
Crafting when we can - Neopolitan (red, white and brown)
Hope you're all having a fab day!

This has a lovely vintage feel to it; gorgeous colours and the faux stitching looks great. It's so nice to have the sentiment as the focal point too - I sometimes struggle to do this and you have done it perfectly :-)

Beautiful card and corners. Thank you for playing along with us at Crafting When We Can Challenges.
Gorgeous card. all that faux stitching must have taken ages but it was well worth it as it is really effective. Thanks for joining in with our stitching challenge at Ooh La La creations.
