Let's Squash It! Challenge #26 - Let's make a Christmas Card

 

Hi there, I'm over on the Squashy blog today to share a little inspiration for our current challenge! We've gone super-easy this month and would just like to see you use an EF to create a gorgeous Christmas card.

Our guest this month is the lovely Cat from Cat Luvs Paper.

For some reason I decided to de-boss the inky, water-coloured background for my card. I used watercolour card, which takes embossing so beautifully. I wanted to fill the little 'wells' made by the de-bossed Christmas Trees with plenty of ink so there was a good depth of colour. Seems to have worked ok and was a quick and simple make. I used that fabulous 'Noel' die cut again, sent to me by my sweet buddy, Greta.

The cards in the Squashy Gallery for this theme look fabulous. I really think embossing seems to especially suit cards made for the festive season. You have until the end of November to play along with this challenge and Cat, Gail and I all hope you'll come and join the festive fun!
