Quick and Simple Christmas Card

I love how quick this card is to make, it takes under 10 minutes!!!

















I used a 'Fern Green' 05-002 Mix and Match card blank, I then cut and embossed the white pearl card with a die by Marianne Designs and Stamped and black embossed the sentiment from 'Christmas Cheer' 30-140, this was then mounted onto the card blank with foam pads.

The flower also created using a Marianne die was shaded with Shabby Shutters Distress ink and added to the card with a pearl in the centre.

It really is that simple!!!

I will be back tomorrow with some gelato goodness...no not ice cream!

Hugs Cathy

This is lovely with the ombination of Shabby Shutters & the Fern Green cardstock. The sentiment in black really pops against the white & I love the dimension of both dry & wet embossing. Your raising of the panel onto foam pads really adds to the finished dimensional elegance too.
