Good morning all. What a wet miserable weekend it's been so far, hope it clears up today as we're off out to lunch later. I can't believe a fortnight has passed since our last Christmas Card Club reveal but it's Anne's turn to choose the theme and she asked to see clean and simple.
I've been desperate to use the stamps I won in Clare's candy a few weeks ago and have managed to use both this weekend. Image is from Wild Rose Studio, coloured with promarkers and highlighted with a gelly roll pen and some stickles then mounted onto a scalloped nestie. Backing card has been embossed with a Cuttlebug snowflake folder. Ribbon (which I've had for ages) and twine from my stash.
IF you'd like to see what the other girls have done you'll find a list in my side bar.
