Violet Christmas

I made this card for the ABC Christmas Challenge 'V is for Violet' and used some white sentiments that were in my 'I'll use it one day' drawer.

To make this card I used:
     7" x 5" white matt card blank
     Creative Expressions 'Festive Mini Expressions - Stacked Happy Christmas' die
     Xcut 'Swirls' embossing folder
     Snippets of white matt card and violet pearlescent card

I embossed a piece of white card and trimmed around the edge before layering it onto a slightly larger snippet of violet card and attaching it to the card front.  I had already found two white die cut sentiments, so I cut another sentiment from violet card and layered the three before attaching them to the centre of the embossed frame.

I am entering the following challenges:
     ABC Christmas Challenge - V is for Violet
     Addicted to Stamps & More - Any Occasion
     Allsorts - Feminine
     Ally's Angels - Anything Goes
     Can You Handle the Pressure - Anything Goes with an Embossing Folder
     CAS on Friday - Embossed Background
