Guess who made a Christmas card?
Oh how I do love Christmas card making.
Some of my other cards always seem to be
hit or miss on instagram. So maybe I should
just focus on all Christmas all the time. haha
I followed the sketch at:
The stamp sets featured in this card are:
Stampin Up: Decorated with happiness, Night Divine,
Reason for the season, Peaceful boughs, and
the stitched shape dies.
I started off thinking I would be using ornaments to
go around the sentiment and the oval. However, after
coloring and cutting them out, it just didn't seem to match
the elegance of the oval or the sentiment. So hence the
poinsettia, pinecones and pine sprigs. I use some
dimensionals to pop up the oval and then went to work
layering the arrangement. Now for the little embellishments
I chose white sequins to blend in. Did you notice I embossed
the white cardstock in the background with snowflakes?
I had so much fun making this card, I had the Christmas tunes
playing and it was nice and cozy, even as it was storming outside.
I thought this was the perfect picture(below)for today.
It was a good reminder for me too, since I had another
lovely experience with doctors. This time I went
for a second opinion for my eyes last Friday. My appointment
was at 7:15 A.M. Well on Saturday my one eye (the bad one)
was still dilated. Oh boy after crying hard, which I'm sure
did not help it at all. I asked for my fb friends to pray for me
and by Sunday the dilation was normal. I was still quite
upset about it, and told my husband I don't think it's right,
he says, "want me to get a caliber to measure your pupils?"
Isn't he the cute one. haha.
The little guy was moving his bed closer and closer
to my stamp room, the little darling.
The verse I chose for this card is:
Isaiah 9:6KJV
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given:
and the government shall be upon his shoulder:
and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor,
The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Beautiful Christmas card reminding us of the true message of Christmas.The poinsettias, pine sprigs and pine cones remind me of the Christmas season, at least in the northern parts of North America. Thanks for joining us at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.

What a stunning card. I love the way you tucked some of the poinsettias and pine cones behind the oval with the sentiment--how clever! I would never have thought of that as a way to make the sketch work. Thank you for joining us this week at the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge and look forward to seeing you again soon!
