Start of the Christmas Season.....

I can't believe it is just 2 months till Christmas is upon us again!
When you are a child it seems so long between Christmases, but when you get old..er, it comes around faster than we would like!
I have started on some Christmas cards and will be previewing them over the next few days.
This card features Crafty Individuals fantastic products.
I used one of the sheets from their Christmas Papers pad and I took a set of prints from their Christmas Miniatures pad and colour copied them onto acetate in order to have the transparent look.
The printed paper was cut down to 14.5 cm square and mounted onto an old gold card.  In the center of the gold card I cut a square using nestabilities and then a larger square out of the center of the printed paper. The transparacy was attached to the gold card and then the printed card mounted over it. Using the Martha Stewart photo corners punch, I cut 4 red vellum corners and added them to the printed card. Also in vellum are these beautiful embossed Pointsettias created by using the amazing Dutch punches from Joan at Country Crafts and delightful Holly leaves. Gold flower soft was placed in the center of the flowers and gold beads into the center of the vellum corners. Gold sticker beading was used as an outline around the center panel. A very simple card, but very pretty.
