Happy Tuesday everyone!! It's the end of the month, and that means it's time for another guest host on the Flourishes Timeless Tuesday #43 challenge and I've had the tremendous honor of being asked to do the hosting duties this week!! With the holidays rapidly approaching, I thought a great theme for this week's challenge would be to make a Christmas and/or Thank-you card. You can choose to make one or the other........or both! This will be a great way to build up your supply of those beautiful cards you'll be mailing out for the holidays!I wasn't sure how the Basic Grey Indian Summer designer paper would look on a Christmas card, but I was pleasantly surprised and liked the result! I started off with a Burgundy Corduroy card stock base and decided to use the spruce image from the Forest of Trees set. I chose a piece of rose-colored dsp from the BG pack, and stamped the Basketweave image on it using Razzleberry ink. Directly on top of the basketweave, I stamped the tree image with Versamark and embossed it with winter wonderland embossing powder. I decided it still needed a little more, so I dabbed on a little glue and added some sparkly tinsel glitter. I cut the ovals of White, Burgundy and BG dsp with the Nestabilities petite/scalloped ovals. The background dsp is another piece from the BG Indian Summer pack. I wrapped a piece of Burgundy Bobbin ribbon around the card and made a small bow for the bottom. I decided to put the sentiment inside and just let the tree take the spotlight on the front of this card.

This is so lovely...I haven't had much time for surfing blogs these days, and I miss having time to look at your lovely cards...Hope you have a very Happy Thanksgiving.
This is gorgeous - I love the way you've used the Indian summer BG paper - I think it's sometimes good to use 'non-Christmas' papers x
