My brother was horrified. He popped by today and saw me making Christmas cards. What else is a girl to make in October? After a long stamping break - two weeks is forever as far as I'm concerned, I wanted to start simple. I have decided that I love Kraft. This is the first card I've done with it. I would definitely do changes but I love the simplicity without the start effect of white. I have got to order some. The image is a Heartfelt Creations one that was embossed in white and then I used the matching die cut. This set is growing on me all the time. I then sponged over the embossing and distressed the edges. The ribbon is recycled from a Christmas tag. The sentiment is from Cornish Heritage farms. Next time, I would have put this on a panel to make it pop but I still think this is a great guy Christmas card.
