I have a cute
Christmas card to share today featuring Little Christmas Girl 1 from All Dressed Up.
With this card I have
successfully made a Christmas card a week in January ~ whoo hoo! Not sure if this will last through February
but it’s way better than I was last year.
I am really loving the prompts at the various Christmas card challenges
I’ve started following. This card was
inspired firstly by Christmas with the Cuties where the prompt is Christmas carols
and songs. No prizes for guessing my song
is Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer, this little cutie literally sang “pick
me” (see what I did there with the sing reference?!) out of my Christmas files to be used on this card.
I’ve also used
the inspiration photo at Merry Monday to help design my card. The picture included white iced biscuits with
little balls for decoration. I’ve picked
that up in my background paper by adding bitty pearls over the embossed dots on
the cardstock. I’ve also used the hot chocolate as the cue
for my brown cardstock and the splashes of red and green are brought in with
the side panels, I’ve just toned the colours down to more muted ones.
To make up my card
I’ve followed the current sketch at Sketch Saturday, I just rotated the centre
element to allow for my image. Because this
is the year of the shaker card I’ve turned the two rectangular elements into
shakers.
Given this card
features a cute Christmas image I am also entering it in the something cute
challenge over at Crimbo Crackers. Sweet Stampin’ Christmas has gone anything goes so I am linking my card there too.
