ABC Christmas Challenge - X is for...

We're on the home straight now, having reached the letter X this fortnight at the ABC Christmas Challenge. It's Lacey's turn to host the challenge, and the theme she has chosen is:

'X is for Xmas'
(Optional extra 'Flowers')

 We are sponsored by Wild Orchid Crafts for this challenges...and here's a photo of the gorgeous prize they've donated for the lucky winner:


The image I've used on my card is 'Winter Love Birds' by Whiff of Joy...sent to me by my lovely friend and ABC Christmas DT buddy Samantha. I went for one of my favourite colour combos...Blue & Brown...although it's not one I often use on Christmas cards. The papers are by BasicGrey ('Blitzen' & 'Figgy Pudding'), and I distressed all of the edges with inks and my distressing tool, before adding some faux stitching. The sentiment stamp os from a set by Lili of the Valley, the large blue flower is by Prima, and the white flower is a Cherry Blossom from Wild Orchid Crafts.


I'm allso entering this card into the following challenges:
For more inspiration, please check out the fabulous creations by my lovely ABC Christmas Challenge DT buddies, and our wonderful Guest Designers.

    I love this cute image Helen and the soft shades of blues and the raggedy edges. I am having serious problems with the internet today - a snail would be faster! so I haven't been able to get the prize/top 3 done.
    hugs, annie x
