A very warm welcome to my new followers, it's a pleasure to have your company.
I'm not doing as well with my Christmas cards as I planned! In January I decided to make 1 a week to avoid the last minute panic. I've failed miserably! So my card for today is a Christmas card using the House Mouse decoupage from Joanna Sheen.
Isn't that image adorable? After layering up the decoupage, I printed a sheet of backing paper from Joanna Sheen's Messy Rabbit Christmas cd-rom. The red bauble is a Marianne Die which I put silver mirror card behind. The sentiment base is cut from green mirror card with a Nellie Snellen die, and the sentiment is from Lily of the Valley, stamped in Fired Brick distress ink. I used some metallic cord (which had originally held a tag onto some clothing and was too nice to throw away!) onto which I threaded some metallic baubles that have been in my stash for ages!
My card is for the following challenges:
Paper Play Challenges - Animal Antics
Moving Along With The Times - Merry Christmas
Cute Card Thursday - Metallica
Fussy and Fancy Friday - Punches and Dies
Crafty Hazelnuts Christmas Challenge - Lots of Layers
Christmas Cards All Year Round - Photo Inspiration
ABC Christmas Challenges - H for Hardware
Jingle Belles - Re-cycling (Metallic cord)
