I have been looking forward to this challenge so much and yet I am late posting it.
International Art & Soul - Challenge #38 - Christmas Traditions.
Do you have a special Christmas Tradition that you can't miss every year? Our library had a book discussion on "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens about 7 years ago. My husband and I fell in love with this book! We had watched one of the movies before but the book is so much better. Our new tradition is to watch all of the various Christmas Carol and Scrooge movies and to try to see the play too. We have seen amateur productions, we saw it when we went to Christmas in Williamsburg but my favorite was the production was at Ford's Theater in Washington, DC.
So here is my card for Challenge # 38 Christmas Traditions. Mr. and Mrs. Fezziwig are two of my favorite characters!
The paper and embellishments are from Graphic 45 "Christmas Carol Collection". The poinsettia flowers are from my stash. Die Cuts - Spellbinders Card Creator.
Here is the inside.
The stamp is also from Graphic 45 "Christmas Carol Collection".

Chriss this is gorgeous. Love the vintage look.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Chriss, I love this card! That vintage look is absolutely perfect for the Dickens period. For me, A Christmas Carol has always been a large part of the season. These are wonderful papers, used perfectly in your design. Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.
ReplyDeleteOh, I just love Graphic 45 papers, but always struggle with how to use them. I just can't bring myself to cut them up! But, you have done a beautiful card with this sweet image and I love the added flowers to depth and dimension. Thanks for joining us at Watercoler Wednesday this week! XO, Crystal
ReplyDeleteWOW simply gorgeous and you have done full justice to that beautiful Graphic 45 paper
