Shabby Chic Holiday

Hello friends,

This will be my last post before Christmas and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your visits during 2014. I wish you all happy holidays and a Merry Christmas. Enjoy this very special and festive time with your family and loved ones.

I have another pink Christmas card I put together and want to share with you. Fortunately it is hand delivered and will still be in time. Once again I used the lovely inspirational picture at The Shabby Tea Room  to create this last-minute card. I love the soft pastel pink, aqua, silver and ivory and added  lots of glitter and silver mesh to bling it up for a shabby Christmas feel. I stamped and wet embossed the Christmas tree with silver , added some pearls, silver bling and roses and then layered the stamped image on a beautiful die cut from Wild Rose Studio. Two silver bells, aqua wax cord , a silver star and pink heart complete the card. The sentiment die cut is from Spellbinders.
