Good Morning Everyone. Isn't this weather just awful. So I have been crafting ,but not making cards, however I did make a card yesterday for the CCC This is my first post since joining the Christmas Card Club. Hopefully by December, I will have my cards nearly finished. Mary has
chosen the theme for February and it has to be a Heart or the Colour
Red. Well, I have chosen a heart and then stamped a winter scene from
Artistic Outpost called Midwinter. My card is 6 x 6 square and I used a
holly mask to emboss the background. The Hearts consist of a Silver
one put through the Swiss dots folder and then I added a NS heart using
black linen card. On top of that came the stamped image with added
diamond chips to make it glitter. I used some Black Watch ribbon across
my card and added a bow to the top. The sentiment was from the same
stamp set. Enjoy your Weekend. Hugs Rita xxxx

Great idea to have the heart like a window frame and what a pretty scene it is too. Lovely card.

We finally have some sunshine today, so I am quite enjoying the beauty of the season - but yes, it's been hideous. How lovely to see your beautiful card - the heart frame works so perfectly - and be reminded of what winter can be like!

Elegant card, the eye is drawn straight into the stamped winter scene.
now that is just gorgeous!
Have finally got a chance to sit down & enjoy visitin (and then blogger seems to take forever to bring up the blog sites!). It's been such fun seeing the interpretations of the heart or red. Now this is simply stunning. Lovin' that holly embossing with this gorgeous heart. That is a lovely winter scene in the lacey heart, and those pearls trimming the outer heart frame...oh my! The ribbon took this one right over the top. Lastly Warm Welcomes as a new member at CCC. I'm still a newbie myself but it's been fun. TFS & Hugs. So enjoyed seeing how you fit this one to the challenge!
Hi Rita, welcome to the Christmas CC, such an elegant and gorgeous card a gorgeous first time card at the CCC. Have a lovely week xx
The scene is beautiful stamped inside the heart. I never would have though to use a heart on a Christmas card yet it is stunning and so elegant.
Wishes
