Here we are again and 2 weeks have passed since our last Christmas Card Club.Challenge. This time around it was the lovely Carol who chose the theme of Sentiment. My card has made with the sentiment in mind and this was one of Cloe's new stamps that I love. I used a background of Tartan paper and a layer of deep red card before using a Sue Wilson die and added the stamped piece to the centre of my card. A few red pearls to adorn it and I finished it off with some hand dyed seam binding. Was really pleased with this one.
I have had a busy week making cards for orders and took a day off on Wednesday to spend time with my two lovely daughters.We went to see the film Bridget Jones's Baby. We laughed so much till the tears were flowing. I am doggie sitting Carolyn's miniature Schnauzer " Buachaille" till next Thursday while they have a much needed holiday. Hope you you will visit the other members whose blogs are on my side panel as there are some fabulous crafters among us too. Take Care and Ill be back soon. Hugs Rita xxx

Hi Rita,
what a brilliant card, and such a very lovely sentiment.
I love the use of tartan on Christmas cards.
The red layer looks like felt in your photo, and wonderful dying of the ribbons.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.

Rita, that intricate gold frame around the focal sentiment certainly sets it off splendidly. Love the addition of the deep rich red and the traditional tartan plaid. It's a lovely card and met the challenge perfectly. TFS & Hugs
What a lovely sentiment Rita and a gorgeous card. Can't beat a bit of tartan and it's the perfect backdrop to your beautiful layers.
Hoping to get to Glasgow on Friday, will email you later in the week. Carol x
Whoa, this is extraordinary, Rita! I'd say it is more a beautiful table decoration than a card! Something to put out year after year! Have fun with your doggie-sitting!! Hugs, Darnell
