Christmas in July

A very good morning to you, I hope everyone had a lovely weekend, it was our Carnival yesterday and I still can't believe how glorious the weather was - we all had a lovely time.

It's Monday morning so it must be time for another Whoopsi Daisy Challenge and this week we would like you to MAKE A CHRISTMAS CARD, it's never too early to make a start on your Christmas Cards.

This is the card I have made using one of the gorgeous images from sheet 256, do pop over to the Whoopsi Daisy Digi Shop and have a browse, there are 4 fab images on each sheet.


I got the idea for this card from the LOTV Card Inspiration blog, but mine is not nearly as vintage as the lovely sample on their site.  I have coloured her with FlexMarkers and the papers are from Bearly Mine Designs.   Full details of everything I have used are listed below.


I have decorated the inside of my card to match the front:





CARD RECIPE

Papers:  Bearly Mine Designs - Designer Extreme CD
Tools:  Marianne CreaTables - LR0136 and LR0185, CREAlies CL CS 08
Card Stock:  Crafter's Companion - Core'dinations

Brilliant card, I look at your doily and it looks like a tatted doily, which I could make from thread, I take it it is printed on the paper. Lovely angel image.
