A great sketch by Amber this week over on the Verve forum at SCS. I combined it with the current CR84FN challenge of burgundy, Grey and cream. Such a classy colour combo! I think I need to register with Snowflakes Anonymous...just can't help myself! Maybe it is a subconscious wish to have some snow here this year as we didn't get any last year.
Nice and simple card really. Must see if I can find some cream papers next time I'm at my LSS. Don't have any in my stash. Thankfully the cream colour I have is linen paper so there is a bit of texture to it, though that is all but done in by the embossing!
I used a heart shape for the sentiment tag as it reflects where my favorite Christmas word "JOY" flows from - the very depths of my heart and soul. A deep an abiding joy for God's gift given to mankind, and a joy that transcends my life throughout the year. Joy. Deep, deep, joy. My heart is full :)
Have a fabulous day!
