Casing Elena – again!

I’m loving this month’s muse over at Case Study Challenge – the very sweet Elena Roussakis. This week’s card made me think of cosy, home-spun styles so I went with a rustic feel with my Christmas card.

case study stocking (1)I was drawn to the wood background, the twine, the pop of red gingham and that tiny wee heart poking out!  As I received my latest package from Simon Says Stamp today I couldn’t wait to rip into the new products and have a play!  Actually, as Simon’s Wednesday Challenge this week is “Christmas” I’m sharing this over there too!

Here’s Elena’s gorgeous card:

10 Minute Craft Dash #28

Hey there, here today to share my card for the latest 10 Minute Craft Dash Challenge.  Paulina’s put together a gorgeous colour combo and when I saw the red and green I was immediately inspired to make something Christmassey – again!

CD#28CD_28The “wreath” on my card is from the only set from Clearly Besotted’s October release that I was still yet to break into, Delightful Doilies.  Isn’t it just gorgeous?  The detail in the image is just stunning and with the addition of a few little gemstones and a gorgeous felt bow (Lil’ Inkers) this card was done in no time at all (well, just under 10 minutes to be precise!!!).

CD_28_prize (1)With a generous $25 prize from Paper Sweeties on offer make sure you join in the fun over at Pretty Pink Posh!

Hugs,

And I’ve made one more Christmas card to add to the pile!  I’m trying to get as many done as I can at the moment so I don’t run out (like I did last year!!).  I’ve used the memory Box Country Landscape die and added some snow with white flower soft – another product I’ve dusted off after forgetting I even owned it!!

merry christmas sceneBy the way – the “Christmas” stamp is from Holiday Sentiments from Clearly Besotted but for some reason I couldn’t get Mr Linky to attach it!!!

Thanks for stopping by.
