This is a version of our Christmas cards for 2010. I used the CHF snowflakes and swirls background stamp with not quite navy ink on bashful blue cs. Sponged the edges with not quite navy. Brayered bashful blue and not quite navy on glossy cardstock and stamped image with stazon. Oh...before I brayered, I punched out a 1/4" circle from a post-it and stuck it on the glossy to make the moon. Added some glitter to the tree to look like lights (more noticable in real life). Cut the frame from some nesties and used the faux wood frame technique. Added rhinestones to each end of the frame. Now that I look at the card, I think I might add glitter to the ice in the image and perhaps to the snowflakes on the background. Oh...and another thing....did some stitching on each end with metalic thread. Also computer-generated the sentiment. TFL.

Absolutely Amazing!
This is such a classic, beautiful card! I love all of the details you put into this card. And, it does look like the tree in the back has lights on! Either that, or the full moon is shining on the snow on the branches. I think it is perfect the way it is. You did such a wonderful job on these cards. I can't imagine what you are putting together for next year.
I made this card one of my favorites. Thank you so much for sharing! It cuts down on your need to mail one to everyone...because I'm sure we would all want to be on your list!
