I made this card a while ago and never posted it. Someone sent me this printed image a long time ago but I have no idea who makes it. I colored it with Copics and die-cut it with a Lil Inker stitched rectangle. adding some silver stickers. The mat behind the image, banners and vertical panel were made with snippets, and the background was embossed with a Cuttlebug ef. The sentiment was done with peel-off stickers.
I'm sharing this with the May Rudolph Days Challenge which is to make a Christmas card before the end of the month.
On another note, I finished the latest jigsaw puzzle on Sunday. My husband actually helped me finish this one because I was really stuck with it for quite some time. It's just 500 pcs, but those pieces were very tiny and after a while they all started looking alike LOL
I took a photo of the box because I couldn't get the whole puzzle into the photo. I have one more puzzle to work on and it's 1000 pcs, so that will keep me busy for quite some time I'm sure. It's a good thing I saved these puzzles through the years - I didn't think I'd ever work on them again, but surprise!
Here's to a better week ahead for everyone - thanks for stopping by!

A fun image for the Christmas card challenge. Beautiful scene for the jig saw but I can imagine the difficulty with lots of detailed flowers and leafy areas.
First of all - your card.......Darling! Love the sweet and cute image and the banners. Great embossing in the background too!
The puzzle - wowsers! That really looks like a hard one. It's so pretty though so glad y'all got it finished.

Hi Carol,
Happy Rudolf Days.
what a very colourful card and such a super design.
The image is so sweet and makes a great card.
Love the use of those banners on the side.
Great embossing also.
Thank you for joining the Rudolf Challenge.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L. DT
Eggcellent Christmas chick card, I do like traditional Christmas colours and I like how you've just added embellishments in colour giving it a crisp feeling.
The jigsaw reminds me of a Thomas Kinkade photo, it's beautiful with the wisteria in bloom. Keep smiling x
Love the cute chick and all the patterned banners-jigsaw looks very complicated all those shades of green

This is a great card design to use up those little snippets of Christmas paper. You should take it over to Di's at Pixies Crafty Workshop.
I like this card, Carol. It has a homey feel to it. I have not seen the peel op sentiment stickers in glitter. I really like those. Do you happen to know who makes them as I will try to get some. I am not fond of the ordinary then silver ones. This one you used has some pizzaz!
Thanks for taking part in the May Rudolph Days Challenge.
You do keep busy and MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU TOO.....................Lis

Darling card, so glad your mojo is back full force! Another beautiful puzzle.
Cute card and another great puzzle. Instead of puzzles ...I have been reading and reading. As I told another dear on line friend...I just realized it my way of escaping all the Bad news, etc...
