Christmas Spirelli

Good Morning

My card for today is a Christmas card.  I so enjoyed having a go at the Spirelli challenge the other day, I decided to have another go!


This card is made using papers from Making Cards magazine.  I used silver mirror card for all the matting, and punched along the bottom edge of the main image with a Martha Stewart punch.

The circles were cut using a Nellie Snellen die, and after adding the images to the centre of each, I used silver metallic thread for the Spirelli.  I was trying to mirror the design in the backing paper.

My card is for the following challenges:

Alphabet Challenge Blog - E for embroidery

Sparkles Forum Christmas Challenge - Favourite Colour Combo for Christmas

Bling It On Challenge - Monotone

Thanks for visiting.
