It's back to Christmas cards for just a bit longer as I need a few more for hand delivery to school teachers, a piano teacher, a soccer coach, and some neighbours. Wasn't a hard sell as I was delighted to pull out this fabulous Verve tree die again :)
The red background paper with the swirls is another "funky" paper from the Kris Kringle SEI pack I used on yesterday's card. Guess I enjoyed walking on the wild side a bit more than I thought I would wink, wink!
I crimped the trees so they would stand out a bit more and embossed the white background panel for a bit of "snow" texture. The sentiment tag finished things off.
Sorry about the frayed ribbon edge - hate when that happens. Rest assured, the issue has been resolved!
Had a great lunch with my in-laws yesterday as we met for a gift exchange since they are heading to Alberta for Christmas this year. I am so blessed to have them in my life and love them to bits!
