Christmas Card Club

Hi Crafters,
I've been fortunate enough to be asked to join in with a bunch of lovely ladies at the Christmas Card Club where the challenge is to make Christmas cards throughout the year. So once a fortnight I shall be posting a card sticking to the theme set by the members and then by December I shall have quite a collection to help with the Christmas rush.
Here's my card for my first challenge which is....feature a heart/ the colour red.

Card Recipe
Red and white cardstock
Hearts background stamp - Inky Doodles Christmas Cross Stitch Stamp Set
Sentiment Stamp - Dovecraft's
Candy Cane Image - Free Digi
Promarkers
Ribbon - The Ribbon Girl
Adhesive Pearls - Meiflower
 

 
I have a tab at the top of the page which has links to all the other lady's blogs in the group, please go and take a look at their wonderful work.
I would also like to enter this card in to another challenge at...
Winter Wonderland - Digi Days
 
Have a great Sunday,
 
Lorraine
