First Christmas card this year.....

I SO didn't want to get into Christmas mode- it's not even September yet for heaven's sake!- and now I can't flippin' well get out of it! I have no choice really because my Christmas Workshops start next Wednesday so I've been churnin' 'em out! I won't be able to show all the Christmas cards that I make because most will be for the workshops but I'll try to post at least one a week. However, here's one I can show you. It's another shaped card, and I've used the gorgeous 'A Silent Night' papers by Papermania.
I covered the card with green spotted paper, added a smaller gold panel topped by a smaller still piece of Christmas script paper. This was adhered flat to the green portion. Another matted & layered panel was created with cream card embossed with a Papermania embossing folder and a piece of holly paper. I added narrow green velvet ribbon, a Prima poinsetta and holly leaves punched from gold mirri card and a sentiment also cut from gold mirri. This panel was adhered with foam pads. Red gems complete the card.
Carts used:
Shaped card & 'Season's Greetings'- Winter Woodland
Thanks for looking!
