Hello Friends, It’s time for a new challenge at Just Us Girls! Vicki has picked the perfect Inspiration photo to help us get going on our Christmas cards! I challenged myself to make 4 cards a month this year with a finished date of December 1st, and I’m sure I am going to make it, I only need one more! Yaaaaahoooooooooo! I encourage you to do this next year, you’ll be glad you did! I sure am! I seem to be on a roll with my Verve Christmas Stamps and you haven’t even seen all of them yet. I am saving my four favorite cards that I have made this year for last. I can say that this is one of my favs as well! The photo doesn’t really do it justice…it’s much more sparkly in person! I primarily used watercolors on this card with a Paper Smooches bow with the negative left in…I think it looks cool like that. I finished it off with some Wink-a-Stella, some Stickles and two types of ribbon. You can’t tell in the photo, but I raised the sentiment to give the bulb some depth.
Hope you have a fabulous day and find some time to join us at JUGS! I also want to say Thanks to Cecile for being such a terrific Guest this month! Nanc’

Another gorgeous creation Nancy. Love the layout and how you left the ‘bits’ in that beautiful sparkly bow. Wish I had my Christmas cards done! Good on you.

Well I wish you would have told me about the 4 cards a month at the beginning of this year…lol. Now I’m scrambling to get my cards done…waaaay behind this year. Anyway, enough about me, I love your card. The design is just wonderful and I can tell a lot of thought went into it. Gorgeous take on the photo, my dear. Well done!!!
