Muse: Christmas Visions 1

Hi everyone!
Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing mom's out there!
Prayers for those that struggle with this day.  xoxo

Today's card is for the new Muse: Christmas Visions Challenge.  I am so excited for yet another, Christmas card challenge blog. I love making Christmas cards year round.

The Muse for this week is the lovely, Kimberly Weiner!


I LOVE Kimberly's card and knew I was going to use the colors blue, gold and white on my card as well as a poinsettia.  I love this stencil and haven't used it a ton.  I used the new Mermaid Lagoon Distress ink to ink it up.  Added gold with some glimmer paper.  One more Christmas card to add to my stash.

Here is Kimberly's card:


Thank you for visiting and have a great day!  We are off for Crepes!  YUM!!
