Hi Crafters,
It's been a lovely couple of days here in my part of Norfolk, bright, dry, a little chilly but beautiful. The Autumn leaves are turning and the squirrels in my back garden are gathering and burying nuts for the winter, it's a lovely sight.
So with that I'm here to share a Christmas card! Ha, ha!
Well you know we have to keep ahead of the game if we are to have enough made before the big day :)
Our challenge this week is 'V' for Vertical
So we'd like to see your vertical projects and cards for Christmas, take a peek at the creations from the rest of the Design Team HERE for some inspiration if you are stuck.
I have created a DL card, a very clean and simple DL card for my usual style. I had a bit of trouble leaving all that white space but managed to walk away eventually.

Lovely card Lorraine
ReplyDeleteA really elegant card I love the white space and minimal embellishments
ReplyDeleteFabulous verticle card and love the embossing folder you used.x
ReplyDeleteA really lovely CAS card Lorraine. Haven't made a DL card for so long. I seem to favour 6" square or 5" x 7" these days. It makes a nice change. Hugs Christine xx
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean Lorraine stepping away from the card....you have the perfect balance with the embossing and the embellishments and the elegant shape of the DL card....xxxxx
ReplyDeleteA pretty creation as always, apols for the tardy blogging on my part but slow going at this end.

ReplyDeleteI have to admit to being quite a fan of the long skinny cards, although I never seem to make them myself anymore I do love to see them. This one is fab and that embossing works so well here :) xx
