I used this great coloured image and paper from The Paper Shelter for my card. I printed out the image  three times and fussy cut it then decoupaged it. I die cut the base layer with a circle die and added a slightly larger mat in matt silver card behind it. I cut the background paper to fit a 6x6 card blank with mats of kraft card and matt silver card. I cut the Noel die (tattered lace) twice out of the matt silver and layered it up to add definition. 
I added some snowflakes in kraft card and certainly didn't add them to hide any glue smudges... I added the die cut holly sprigs to each corner and added some mercury stickles to add a little gentle sparkle. Oh, and some faux stitching sneaked in there...
I'm looking forward to seeing your makes this week x

  1. A super Christmas card Cara, love your Santa. It is too warm here today to even contemplate Christmas. So unusual but very welcome, just in time for the kids back to school. Typical.
    Enjoy the rest of your Wednesday, hugs Erika. x
