Well it's been a funny year, but one thing that did remain the same was the Rudolph Days Challenge and today it's time for the last one of the year. Just one month to go before Christmas Day and although they have announced that families will be able to get together this year after all I wonder how many be planning a very different Christmas than normal. Anyway onto the challenge this month, Maureen as a choice of two wonderful prizes over on the blog. The winner is chosen at random so you have nothing to lose by entering a card into the challenge. It's not my turn to be on the design team this month so I can enter a card into the challenge too. My entry this month is a beautiful cover- a card stamp (like my previous card) from Chocolate Baroque, only this time it's the wonderful holly stamp I've used. Stamped and embossed using gold embossing powder and then coloured using Spectrum Noir pens from Crafters Companion and a sentiment stamped and embossed onto vellum. I'm hoping that I am somewhere near the end of my card making for this year but I still have some presents that I'm in the middle of making to get finished in time.
I'm also entering this card into the Stamping Sensation Challenge this month which is Christmas Flowers, wreath or Garland. Holly is very often found in the wreaths or Garlands even if it's not a flower, so hoping that this is acceptable.
Thank you for taking the time to look and your kind comments which are always appreciated.

Hi Sue

A beautiful card Sue and I love the holly. I also like the sentiment being used on the vellum, it looks great. Yes, it's going to be a very quiet Christmas here with just the two of us. We usually spend it with our daughter and her family, so I'm looking forward to next year and hoping that things will be different and hopefully back to some sort of normality x
an absolutely gorgeous card, Sue! I love it! very classy x
Sue, Merry Christmas 🎄
Hi Sue
I hope all is well with you.
I gave myself a cardmaking/blog break between Christmas and New Year and my fingers are super itching to get creating again now.
I hope you had a good Christmas and wish you all the very best for 2021. Let's hope things are going to start to improve pretty soon.
Love Jules xx
