The True Meaning of Christmas for the CCC!

 Hello to You All, I hope everyone is tickity boo, and enjoying the weekend. 

It's time for the second Christmas Card Club  Challenge, and this time it's our lovely Christine who has chosen the theme of the True Meaning of Christmas. this is what I've gone with;


On black card I've used an Imagination Craft stencil and pasted glitter paste on it, didn't find it easy to photograph, and the glitter isn't all that bright, anyhoo I've added some tiny clear gems. A simple card, but I like the sentiments.

Thank your Christine for the challenge, I enjoyed making this card.

Just a short post today, cheerio for now

Hi Kate, lovely card and I like your interpretation of the challenge. I wouldn't have thought to use those simple words but they are just right. xx

PS: Photographing glitter, like metallics, is a pain!

Good Morning Kate. What a beautiful card, it’s so hard sometimes to get a decent picture during the winter months. Love the sentiments. Enjoy a lovely day. Hugs Rita xxx

A really lovely card Kate. It's beautiful in its simplicity. It always difficult to photograph glitter or mirror card. I have had the same problem this time. Hope you are both well. Hugs Christine xxx

It is a beautiful card, Kate. The silver looks great on black base, even if the glitter does not show in the photo. Lovely sentiments too. Hugs, my friend.

A lovely card Kate. It can be so frustrating when it’s difficult to get a good photo of a card that you’ve made. Take care and have a good week x

Hi Kate, I do like this card,so elegant, I love silver on black. I also have this Imagination Craft's stencil, a very useful one to have in your stash. Hope you are enjoying a relaxing Sunday. This time of the year is not good for taking photos, I too have trouble, as the light is not good, can be most frustrating lol. Take care,
Love & Hugs Jennifer xx.

In the words of Edmund Gwynn from "Miracle On 34th Street", "Christmas isn't just a day; it's a state of mind." Your very elegant card expresses this and how I wish this was carried out every day.

Pat said...

I think this is really beautiful Kate with the glitter paste on the black and the font sentinent with the snowflakes...just perfect for the challenge. x

I'm sure in person it is very beautiful. It is hard to photograph some things we add to cards. On black I am sure it stands out and is lovely.

Hugs
