Believe

I’m slowly but surely getting some Christmas cards made! This is my fourth card in celebration of World Cardmaking Day and it’s for USCWCMD07 which is to make a card with something that flies. All three of the images and sentiment used on this card are from different Unity and Ippity sets. I really love the way they work together! The bird was one of my freebies when I joined the Unity Kit Club and I hadn’t used it yet. The wreath is one of my favourites from the July KOTM but you already know how much I love that set! It’s hard to see in the photos but I coloured in the wreath with Copics first and then added some glitter. My original idea was to have the bird carrying/wearing the wreath but it didn’t look right. I anchored both with the burlap background which I love because it provides just the right amount of contrast. The sentiment is part of a sentiment from the September KOTM. I needed a Christmas sentiment (anxiously awaiting the October KOTM to arrive in my mailbox) so I turned a non-Christmas sentiment into one! Just imagine that it says Believe in the Magic of Christmas. At least that’s what I hope the card conveys. Thanks for stopping by! I hope you’re having a wonderful day. 🙂
