Add a Sentiment

Hello - hope your week has been great so far.

We are having another very warm 30 Degrees day today and the warm weather will be around for a few more days yet.

It seems so funny to be talking about this warm weather when I have created a card for the new challenge at Holly Jolly and I have used an image from Lacy Sunshine called Snowy Days Rory.

So the snow is falling on my card but definitely not here in Sydney.


Our challenge theme is of course Christmas and Add a Sentiment

Our sponsor is Lacy Sunshine.


I have created a fairly CAS card and added some snowflakes and sequins from the retired SU Frosted Sequins Embellishments.

The paper used is scraps from my stash and the cardstock used is SU Night of Navy, Sahara Sand and Xpress It Blending cardstock.

Here is my card: 


The sentiment is from the SU Festive Fireplace stamp set and reads: 

"Sending you wishes for a warm and bright Christmas Season"

Here is a close up of the image:

The cardstock used is SU Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, So Saffron.  The ribbon was from my stash SU Crumb Cake and Island Indigo.

For the Tag on my card I used a laser tag I had and layered some paper on top, folded over a corner added a peg and some ribbon and then added the flower image on top.

Here my card:



The dragonfly was added so he looked like he was just flying about. I also added some pearls to his wings.

The lace and pearls were from my stash and the sentiment is from SU A Dozen Thoughts.
