Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge #147

Another stunning weekend on Vancouver Island with beautiful weather,  the cherry blossoms are so pretty and when there is a small gust of wind there is pink snow.



We have new challenge for you today over at Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge. It’s Bonnie's Challenge this week - Create a Christmas card with star(s).



My husband said my card was not very Christmas-y so I tried to add some shimmer by using gold embossing powder for the sentiment. I could not find a ribbon that would work so I used linen ribbon and added the same gold embossing powder to it, it made it a little stiff but it turned out ok.



Supplies: White and black card stock, Designer Paper-Carta Bella, Verve- Peace on Earth, ribbon.

The Merry Monday Design team has some fabulous inspiration for you over on the challenge blog. Stop by, play along and don't forget to leave some comments.


It was a pretty sunset last night too.




Thanks for stopping by,
Nina

  1. Well, it isn't Christmas-y in the red and green sense, but I think it is quite nice. I definitely think your gold sentiment ties it all in quite nicely. Envy the mild weather and cherry blossoms. I'm in the south (USA) and freezing my bums!
