Cool Blue Christmas

HI everyone! It's a beautiful fall day and I decided to start working on those Christmas cards early. This card was created for the Hero Arts October challenge to make holiday cards.


I have used this sketch before and I love it so much I thought I would try it again. I used a light blue cardstock base, some pearlescent off white cardstock from Marco Paper (this stuff is really thick and nice) , my Martha Stewart snowflake punch and my EK Success border punch here. The sentiment comes from the Hero Arts clear set "Joy to All" and that was clear embossed. The cute papers are Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses and the embossing folder is from Stampin Up. I just had to add some pearls on the big snowflake and along the border punch to go along with the pearly cardstock. I must admit it's kind of hard to make a wintery Christmas card when it's so nice and sunny here and all I see are fall colors outside my window.

I'll be back to post in a day or 2 some more Halloween cards!

Inky Hugs, Anne
