Are you ready for Christmas? Shopping all finished? Gifts all wrapped? Cards all sent out? I am so totally NOT ready! I still have some cards to create and mail out, and I've also got quite a bit of shopping to do! It all just snuck up on me so fast this year! Yikes! I've got Saturday off from work and next Tuesday too, so hoping to get it all finished by then!
I do have a card to share with you tonight. I created it for the Hero Arts, Flickr group, Christmas card exchange, organized by my friend, Anita.
I used the Merry Christmas Trees set and the Fabulous Flourish Stamp, both from Hero Arts. This photo shows the card closed.
I stamped the Fab Flourish, tone-on-tone on the red portion. The green panel was inked with Peeled Paint Distress Ink, then I stamped the Fab Flourish again, this time just using water, to remove some of the ink. The card opens in line with the white strip - see?
And here's a photo with a peek at the inside - also stamped with the Fab Flourish.
I sent my card to Deb and she let me know earlier today that she received it.
Enjoy your weekend and thanks for stopping by! :)

The short-cut front panel is a fabulous design element. Great planning to have the white strip from the inside appear to be apart of the front. Fabulous inside design too! Have a very merry week Barb!
