Blue Christmas


It's another Pollycraft image today for my Christmas card this week. Trying to make at least one a week to take the pressure off Christmas. The only trouble is Mother's Day and Easter are approaching in the next 3 months and I need to make some of those so expect to see some spring cards soon.

So sweet! I like how you've switched this up with the longer and thiner card style, which is a nice change, and the embellishments are great! I'm glad you could join us with this weeks challenge at Paper Sundaes and enjoyed seeing what you did with the sketch.

What a cute image - reminds me of my daughter as I'm always telling her to pull her socks up or put tights on with her skirt LOL!
Love how you have used all the different tones of blue, matching your colouring with the papers beautifully.
