Christmas Cards


I recently treated myself to this new Creative Expressions Christmas sentiment die and paired it with some I.O. die-cut angels on a piece of green mirror card. I die-cut the mirror card with a Lil Inker stitched rectangle die and placed it on a white card base. I don't think this card needs anything else.


 I made a second one and used different angels or repositioned the ones I used in the first card, just to make them a little different. Sorry that mirror card picks up the camera reflection but I can't seem to find a way to eliminate that.

I'm entering the October Rudolph Days challenge  - A/G Christmas
 
as well as the Peace on Earth Challenge #50 - A/G Christmas

since the sentiment die is brand new, I'm also entering into

 the NBUS challenge#55 - Never Before Used Schtuff

Thanks for stopping by and I hope your day is a good one.

Such great effect with the green mirror and the gorgeous red sentiment surrounded by the lovely white angels! I agree, all it's perfect as it is! Both the versions look equally fabulous, can't choose a favourite!
Photographing mirror cards are always a mission impossible! LOL :D
Have a very good weekend you too, dear friend!
