Christmas Virtual Retreat Part 2

Hi everyone, 

Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments. I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know!

The cards I'm sharing with you today are those I designed for sessions 3 and 4 of the virtual retreat held in my Facebook group earlier this month.  All of the designs were befitting of the event's finale, but I went with the last one for a number of reasons; primarily it's use of offcuts, both from prior projects and that one... the 'ribbon' is offcuts of the background parchment (it looks different as ink is only applied to one side of printed parchment and I threaded it inky/ shiny side up).


Card: Unbranded kraft and Clarity's clear parchment
Groovi Plates: Linda's Peace, Joy & Hope - Christmas Treasures ( focal scene) and Linda's Silent Night Nested Wrap - Christmas Treasures
Tools and embellishments: Square picot dies, Polychromos and rhinestones from my stash


Card: Unbranded kraft, Clarity's clear and Indian Summer parchment
Groovi Plates: Square picot, Congratulations Ribbon Lace Duet, and Alphabet & Numbers plate mate (wording)
Tools and embellishments: Groovi and Pergamano embossing, perforating and cutting tools, Square picot dies and gold Posca pen

Challenges (all top card)...

  1. Two lovely cards, I love the church in the first, pretty coloring, love the double frame with the gold and the silent night all around it!
    Love the festive feel of the second, like the coloring behind the merry and the pretty borders at top and bottom, so much lovely detail!

  8. Both cards are exceptional. Love the border sentiment on the first card and top /bottom treatment on the second card. The house on the first card is the perfect Christmas touch.

    Love, Hugs and Blessings
