Hello, dear friends! I have been unable to visit you this week and am missing your beautiful creations. Due to family and health reasons, I have had to take a bit of a break. I will be visiting you as I can. ♥︎
I am posting on the Live & Love Crafts blog today, where this week's theme is Blue Christmas. I couldn't resist using Maja Design's new collection Home for the Holidays yet again. It is truly lovely. ♥︎
Edit: This is also my DT card for the new Anything Goes challenge at Deep Ocean Challenge, where my teamies have stunning inspiration for you!
I used part of the White Christmas scene to create a card for a nature lover. The Christmas birdies are fussy cut from Maja's previous Christmas collection, A Gift for You. The Prima Resin Birdhouse is covered in Shabby White Frantage and hangs from half pearls. The snowy branches in the image have been dusted with Glamour Dust.
The flowers are some of Sandy's newest goodies. I layered You Do Lace and Burlap flowers and centered them with Frosted Berries. Cheyenne trim ruffles beneath. Sandy has a plethora of gorgeous metal embellishments and my card includes one of her snowflake charms and sweet teeny jingly bells.
The heart frame is from Sue Wilson's Italian Decorative Frames collection, which is layered atop Go Kreate Frame Frilly #10 and Joy! Crafts Lacey Square dies.
Thank you for visiting and I wish you a beautiful weekend! ♥︎

ReplyDeleteThis is my 2nd favourite Christmas card of yours...I'll let you know which one my favourite is once I get to it ;-) As you can probably tell; I'm trying to catch up a bit on commenting. I'm really sorry that I haven't been around at all; ever since we moved into the house I've been crazy busy with the refurbishment work. Anywho; I absolutely adore this card. The design is genius; so very clever how you've combined the two Maja collections and added interest to the card with the tiny red details, framed by the beautiful cream embellishments.
