Hello friends,
I am still busy with my Christmas cards and finalizing the last gifts. Time is running out now but I want to share another card with you. My inspiration for this card is from an inspirational picture at The Shabby Tea Room. I always have a soft spot for pink Christmas cards and creating with pink roses and lace are always a joy. I hand drawn the stockings and embellished them with lace, ribbon and bling for a festive feel. To finish off I attached the Christmas stockings to the rose wreath and add a chipboard sentiment.
I entered my card in the following challenges:
- The Shabby Tea Room Challenge #241 (ends 12/14) – Waiting for Santa (Inspirational picture)
- In The Pink Challenge #59 (ends 01/08) – Christmas (In pink of course …)
