The true meaning of Christmas

For this card I've used the Tamara's sketch on Dutch dare 84:

The background papers aren't specifically 'Christmas' ones, but it seemed to go with the image from the recent QVC kit. The papers are from the PM Persimmon collection.

The scripture quotation is computer generated (you can read it better if you click on the picture to enlarge) and the stars were punched out. This is an A5 card because the image is large.



This is also for:

Creative cottage 21: 'Christmas'
Crafty Ann 21: 'Christmas in August'
Sew many challenges 21: 'Christmas in August'
Creative inspirations 41: 'Christmas in August'
Sparkle creations 38: 'vintage'
Creatalicious 13: 'vintage'
Sundays with Crissy 8: 'your favourite time of year'
ABC Christmas: 'Q is for quick and easy'
Aud sentiments 9: 'anything goes'
Paper cutz 55: 'anything goes'
Alphabet: 'P for punches' (the stars were punched) and 'Q for quotes'
Sentimental Sundays 17: 'words to inspire'
Prairie fairy designs 33: 'punch it'
Our daily bread 26: 'punches or dies'
City crafter 19: 'I see stars'
Totally Gorjuss 44: 'star'
ABC: 'B is for blue'

  2. I love the rich colours in this card Hazel and the bps are perfect with the image. I don't think it matters a bit whether they're Christmas papers or not - if they compliment the image, they're ideal!
