Hello. The Holly & Ivy Christmas Challenge has begun a new challenge. The theme is always ‘anything goes Christmas‘. Here is my card:

I started off with a lilac panel, and Pinkfresh Studio cover plate ‘Stitched Pinwheels‘ to the stitched background.
The frame image was hot foiled, then coloured using the matching layering stencils. I went a little darker with the blending for the centre of the larger poinsettias.
Once coloured, I used the matching die to cut it out, and also cut out the sentiment from the same suite – also hot foiled.
The lilac panel was attached to a white card base, the frame image added, then the sentiment, and some gems to add some more interest.
I hope you can come and join us with your Christmas creations. xx
I shall be entering the following challenges:
My Time To Craft Christmas – Christmas and use foil/foiling
Time Out – choose 2 or more – I chose stencil and florals
Die Cut Divas – die cuts and flowers
Sparkles Forum Christmas – Christmas Foliage
12 Months Of Christmas link up – Christmas anything goes – option of vintage not taken





This is such a pretty way to frame your card. Thanks for joining my theme at Sparkles Christmas Challenge. Love Dawn x

Great Christmas card. I’m loving your use of lilac for your background. The non-traditional color is a refreshing change and looks great. Love also, the shine from the foil. Thanks for joining us at Die Cut Divas.
