Soon It'll Be Christmas

Brrrr, winter is definitely here....hope you are keeping warm.  Won't be long now until I'm in my hibernation mode, whereby I venture outside only when necessary.


So, in tune with the weather, my card uses some cool colours.  This is an Elizabeth Bell stamp done with watercolours, and I've added some frantage embossing for some added sparkle, and a Spellbinders die to cut it out.  Keeping it relatively simple, so that it goes in the post, with just a ribbon and a bit of greenery for embellishment.

It's hard to imagine that Christmas is just over a month away.  I guess it is time to get shopping or at least put my thinking cap on.  I'm with some of my grandchildren this weekend, perhaps I can get some ideas.  Hmmm

Thanks for stopping by, and I'm hoping you have a wonderful weekend.
