Today I'm here with a post of Julia's Christmas card. Her request of me this year was to have a scene and she wanted it to "outdo Miss Kathy's and Peter's cards". That was a tall order…I'm not sure I accomplished that, but she was certainly happy with the result. :) I actually tried something new…I tried my hand at painting…but it was just the teal outbursts coming out from around the template cut. I think it turned out OK. This is a Northwoods stamp and it certainly was a bit intimidating to tackle! The card is quite sparkly…though it's hard to see in the photo so I'm including a closeup.
I'm entering this card into the following challenges:
A creative romance: Sparkle at Christmas Challenge
Brown Sugar Challenge: #74 Winter
Hope you are all enjoying the last several days of 2013. With the way the times are today, I don't know whether I'm excited about 2014…or anxious about the unknown… Oh boy! Thanks for stopping by today..Margaret
