After my panic at not having made nearly enough Christmas cards and my shame at having had to give Mr John Lewis the benefit of my custom in the card department, I suddenly had a brainwave! This was in no small part due to inspiration over at Pink Petticoat.
After parting with a very reasonable sum of small change, I printed out a number of Pink Petticoat Christmas sentiments onto linen card, cut them out with Nesties and mounted them on a contrasting Bazzill base. I cut some Magnolia Doohickey shapes, including the small star tag above, from white card. I embossed the star with gold powder twice, added a loop of gold embroidery cotton and there it was, a CAS card that I rather like. Shame I couldn't get a decent photo!
I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Midweek Magnolias - Starlight, Star Bright (Magnolia Doohickey Star Tag)
Simon Says Stamp Challenge - Anything Goes
