Bright and Colourful Christmas



A quick post tonight with one of the last of my Christmas cards I love the bright greens I used here. I won this a part of a set of digi in the summer for a blog hop at Ladybird Crafts Ink, the set is  called Christmas delights they are fab and very modern images. There is a great one with handbags and other with shoes that I've coloured but not yet made into cards, I plan to over the next few week so watch out for them. I wasn't sure abut the chevron paper but its growing on me… hubby isn't keen on this as he says it makes his eyes ‘ go funny’ so I added the candi to tone it down a little. The pretty frilly ribbon is from a kit from the The Ribbon Girl, from a set which I won… they have such beautiful things in there store I love them all.  It’s the first time I've used anything from the kit as I just love to look at all the pretty ribbons, lace and bits that where in it… but it was perfect for this card, and I can’t keep everything that I like to look at I’d get nothing made ! Have a fab week …hugs x

  9. I love the chevron and it helps with the brads breaking it up a bit, but I think it's a perfect choice for the color and the festiveness on your card. It's wonderful how you've colored it up too!

    Thank you so much for taking the time to link up your talent and creative ideas with us at Make It Monday!
    Happy Crafting...
