Noel


Good Morning! Very warm day here though not so much sunshine as yesterday when I sat making this card for the challenge at Bah Humbug! the challenge this week is to use lace. The image I used is a cute new stamp from Sugar Nellie I coloured with Copics and added some Polar White Flower Soft and Stardust Stickles. I wanted the card to be fairly clean and simple as I thought the image was quite busy, so I added my lace and threaded some ribbon through and added a bow, the paper is from my stash and I layered onto gold mirri card, which unfortunately looks black in the photo. Hope you are all enjoying your Sunday.

I would like to enter this card for the following challenges:
