A Christmas Card

Good morning, a very exciting day for me today at work ... a new role and no uniform woo hoo ... so exciting :D  Anyway, today also starts this month's new challenge at Hooked on Crafts but it's also Day 3 of 10 Days of Previews of this month's new stamps at Crafty Sentiments .... Yes you guessed.. I made a card for two DTs. .. First time doing this but I thought it was perfect .. the new stamps at Crafty Sentiments are Christmas related and the theme at Hooked on Crafts Challenge for this month is CHRISTMAS IN JULY !!! :D so pleased too as now I have another Christmas card done... can never have enough of these :D



So something about my card now .. The image being previewed today is Sammy Thank You, from Crafty Sentiments of course, and I have coloured him with my promarkers. Papers are digi ones, snowflake is Spellbinders die, flourish die is JoyCrafts  ....



... and of course the gorgeous pink mulberry flowers and the fun snowman charm are all from Hooked on Crafts. I don't normally do flowers for a Christmas card, but I thought these fit perfectly with the papers on my card.


The prize for the winner this month at Hooked On Crafts Challenge is a $10 voucher to spend at the store.... 

...  so a perfect time to get another Christmas card done with this great prize.. and also don't forget to have a look here to see what my other teamies have done with the new Crafty Sentiments stamps.. these will be available for sale next week on the 11th of July!
