I am pleased to say that I have nearly finished my Christmas cards. Some I shall share as DT cards over the coming weeks. Now don't be shocked, I have been confined to the house this past week with a poorly foot, which now sports the multi coloured shades of some eye catching bruises. I have been able to get out a little this afternoon, a slow walk, not very far, but it was lovely to be out in the fresh air .
Thank you for all your kind wishes.
Now on to this card.
The image is a digi one from the Figgy Pudding set by Gecko Galz.
I used a Computer program to change the colour to print out Navy Blue.
An Embossalicious folder with sprigs of holly was useful to add texture to the base card layers. All the shading is Tumbled Glass distress ink.
I will join the current challenge at Crafts -Too Challenge You.
The theme is a Vintage Christmas and Twist 1 for the 1st-14th November is Monochromatic
Thank you for stopping by, I always appreciate the comments you leave.
This is so beautiful, so elegant and I like how you worked in those beautiful tones of blue.
ReplyDeleteIt is such a lovely digi stamp, isn't it.

Well done on the C-card triumph, but so sorry to hear about your foot (still... it'll probably give you the chance to get the rest of the cards done!).
ReplyDeleteThis is a beauty - so frosty in colour, and a delightful central image - lovely.
