Not your usual Christmas Card

I hope everyone is enjoying their Labor Day weekend! It turned out much better than what the weatherman predicted.
I had a wonderful visit with my daughter.  We went shopping and I bought her some maternity clothes.  She is just starting to show and her pants are getting tight.  We couldn’t find pants but we did find some cute short dresses and leggings.  I love spoiling my girls!

Today’s card did not start out to be a Christmas card.  I started with the sketch challenge at Stamping 411.

 I got my colors from the Cards & Things color challenge.

I had the image panel stamped and had backed it with the green.  Next I tore my red layer and made my ribbon layer.  I had all the layers laying on my cardstock and it hit me that this would be a great Christmas card.  So I pulled out my sentiment and stamped it on the card.  Here is my creation.

Hope you enjoyed today’s creation.  Thanks for looking and have a Sensational Sunday!

  1. This was such a pretty card. I loved the layout with the three panels and the red flower stamped on each. I especially liked the placement of the stamp on the inside with the sentiment. It certainly makes for a different Christmas card. Sandy
