First Christmas card of 2011

YUP! I can believe it myself but Christmas is creeping up on us and soon it will be at our door steps with gifts galore and decorations a plenty.
So when I saw this weeks Moxie Fab World's Tuesday Trigger I was instantly inspired by the totally fab-y-ness of the delightfully random photo. And thought it was the perfect inspiration needed to kick start my holiday cards.

Paper Punch: Martha Steward, Embossing folder: Cuttlebug, Paint: Delta "Tahiti Blue", Sticker: SRM, Paper flower: Prima, Pin: Making memories, Floss: Janlynn

When I first saw the photo I knew I had to have a gingham flower, and thanks to my local fabric mart I had the perfect embellishment. The next thing that caught my eyes was the scuffed up painted background (so vintage chick) so I had to replicate it. I used kraft cardstock at first but found it fell apart after I painted then sanded it. So I used a piece of chipboard instead and it worked perfect!
