What are your favorite Christmas cards?
I went to the gallery looking for ideas and found over 29,000 images. Instead of going through them all I thought I would ask if anyone has a favorite. Thanks!

This card by Julie HRR . One of those deceptively looking "simple" cards that are really difficult (at least for me).
LOVE this card.

Okay, I wouldn't call this my favorite out of the 29,000 in the gallery--and I'm sure I don't have the skill or patience to mass produce whichever one was---but. . .
My favorite 'little touch' for a Christmas card is the glow on the star on this one:
Brilliant/Ballet City of David by hollylogic at Splitcoaststampers
It uses the little applicators that comes with the Stampin' Pastels, white pastel. The 'downlight' on the city is reverse masked and spritzed with Pearl-Ex for a gentle shimmer IRL.
Great thread. . . can't wait to see what everyone offers for your inspiration!

Christmas Card`
I'm not sure this is my "favorite" card (that I made) last year, but it was simple and used images sent me from the Wish RAK. I really liked how they turned out.

I just recently made a
Christmas card and I think it is my fave that I have done. It is using toile as the technique.
