Hello friends! I hope everyone is
doing well. It is back in the 70's here in Southern CA. I have been
creating Christmas cards. I thought I had enough cards for this Christmas; but I
didn't.
I found these gorgeous lighthouses on Etsy. I fell in love with them right away. It was great to find that I already had the perfect papers for them. Whimsy Blurry Flurries 6 x 6 paper pad are a perfect match. I try not to create 6 x 6 cards; due to the expense of shipping them; but they looked best on this size of card. If you don't add extra embellishments, they are a lot less to send in the US. I have been told that these are a standard size in the UK; so no extra shipping for them in other countries.

These colors are actually purple and pink; with a little bit of blue. The cardstock behind the image and the card base are CTMH Royal; which is a gorgeous purple. These colors are hard to get on a camera for me anyway.
FYI: I am not promoting or selling any products. I am sharing the products I used as a courtesy to the people who read my blog; and because many of the challenges now require a list of products used.

Thank you visiting my blog. I hope you enjoy my creations. I appreciate all of you. Be sure to check out my tabs at the top of the page for my videos, tutorials and my previous card creations.
Click here for my YouTube Videos. I have been creating mostly reels lately; which can be found on my Instagram account. Thanks for your patience.
CTMH is out of business now; so my part as a CTMH consultant ended April 30, 2024. I will continue using their products for as long as I have supplies. They are still my favorite products and I will always have a place for them in my crafting and in my heart.
Gorgeous. Love your non traditional christmas colors. Purple is my favorite color so its nice to see it on holiday cards. Beautiful work. TY for sharing with 613 Avenue Create.

Gloria can you please message me..
ReplyDeleteIt's a gorgeous image Gloria, although reading the usage T&C' of the original artist it's doubtful competition entry is allowed, so afraid it will be ineligible at Allsorts (see out rule 2).
