Joy

 Hello.

Somehow my culled down Christmas card list exploded. I think there are some mischievous elves loose in my crafty space and they keep adding addressed but unfilled envelopes to my stack!

This card was inspired by the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches, the add "S" (I chose silver) at Just Add Ink and it is a holiday card so it goes to Watercooler Wednesday whose theme this week is Occasions. 




I bought this cool textured silver wrapping paper and used some for the sliver bits on my card. I changed the direction of the cuts so some had vertical texture and some had horizontal texture. The Joy die is from MFT. 

  


Thanks so much for visiting!

Yes, it can be hard to keep a Christmas card list culled, it is amazing how long all the admin and addressing can take for what originally seems like a very manageable list (I am speaking for myself of course). That textured silver paper is perfect for this card. I love the extra interest it brings xx
