Merry Christmas Everyone

I probably won't have time now to do any more crafting before Christmas, so this is the last of this year's Christmas cards.  I wanted something rather special for my Mum as I won't be with her at Christmas this year.  I came up with this rather simple card using lots of diecuts (a chance to play with my new decorative grand circles too).




It is a large 8" x 8" card made from two A4 sheets of pearlescent cream (it has a gold shimmer to it which I couldn't capture in the photograph, it is a very dismal day here).  I embossed the largest of the grand decorative circles into the card front before assembling.  The gold foiled patterned paper is from Papermania art deco paper pack, red glitter card, gold mirri and gold shimmer paper are from my stash.  I diecut, folded and layered eight of the largest of the nestability marvellous squares in a teabag folding style and centred them with a gemstone brad to make the star centrepiece.  The folds make it stand quite proud of the card making the edges more frilly than they appear in the photo.  The sentiment is computer-generated and cut with nestability floral oval and inked with red stazon.  Hope she likes it.

I am entering the card into Joanna Sheen's challenge "With love at Christmas" here: http://joannasheenchallenge.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/with-love-at-christmas.html

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a healthy, happy, peaceful, prosperous New Year!

Thank you for your support and all the kind comments.
