This is my 1st card for the DT at Crafty Hazelnuts Patterned Paper Challenge

I'm pleased to announce I am now part of the Design Team at craftyhazelnutspatternedpaper. This is my first card, I hope you go to visit the Challenge Blogspot to see all the other creations by the other Design Team members.


I make a lot of Christmas cards through the year to be prepared because I send so many!

A 8x8in white card with foiled patterned paper from a Forever Friends - Cosy Christmas A4 Christmas pack, I have rounded the edges using a punch. I have printed my personalised message and then die cut it using a Xcut Xlarge scalloped circle nesting dies then cut the next size circle in red and layered the circles. I have used the red card to cut poinsettia using a Marianne die I used gold gems for the centres. I have completed the card with gems.

I hope you visit craftyhazelnutspatternedpaper to enter the "Anything Goes" challenge.
