A Christmas Tree Message

Today's card is another Christmas one made for my box.
I used traditional colours this time, although the red backing paper doesn't
look so in the photo!
I used the October challenge sketch over at
 Clair and Sharni Get Crafty! Facebook group for the design of my card.
Unfortunately, I embossed the die-cut rectangle using the wrong side of the
embossing folder, so it's the de-bossed side showing, what's known
as a 'happy accident' I think?

The products I have used are:-
Sizzix - Photo Corners #2
Die-Namics - Pierced Rectangles
Crafts Too Embossing Folder - Snowdrops
Christmas Tree and Banner dies purchased from eBay
Home made Card Candi

Challenges I have entered:-
Always Fun Challenges  - Lots of Layers
The 12 Months of Christmas Challenge - Anything Goes
Christmas Card Challenge - Anything Goes
Jingle Belles - Embossing around the Christmas Tree
Winter Wonderland - Anything Goes
Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge - Anything Goes

    Love that Sketch, you used it perfectly! I like the debossed side, shows much more interest, don't you think? That Christmas Tree stamp is amazing! Merry Merry!

    This is a lovely die Janice and I really like the colours.

    I'm sorry to be late with my comments. I'm still catching up. I've not be bothered about holidays over recent years but really wanted to go to Tuscany. I nearly walked my legs off but was enchanted by the old cities and breathtaking countryside. As it was one of your favourite destinations I'm sure you have so many happy memories of times there with your dear husband. Barbxx
