carpal christmas...

Hello!

Can you believe that Christmas Eve is in 1 week? Oy

Today is my day over on the 365 Cards blog.

The Challenge is Ad Inspired.

I picked this Pottery Barn photo:


I've been having fun this Holiday season making cards with flocked paper. I bought several sheets of this gorgeous red MM paper. I teamed it up with a wool blend felt that I ran through with the Top Note Die. The Top Note panel is on dimensionals.

I recently re-discovered my K&Co Twinkle Type...

Okay, are you wondering about the title of my post for today, carpal christmas? I hand cranked my Janome wheel for all of that glorious stitching...I started to make this card in the early morning hours when the kids were asleep...why do I keep doing that?

The card base is a vanilla...probably Stampin' Up...and I've inked up the edges with Memento Rich Cocoa. I don't typically use white/ivory for my card bases {sheesh, I posted a card just yesterday with a white base}...I'm a kraft girl...or black...but I like how the vanilla makes the felt and flocked paper really pop.

I hope that you join me over at 365 Cards!
