Christmas Card Club - Silver plus One

Good morning all. Hope everyone is well.

Hopefully today will be a quiet one to recover from the rest of the weekend! I enjoyed the concert but he's not the performer he once was and his vocals were a bit lacking....although I think he can be forgiven at 65!! The audience more than made up for his lack of vocals and his band were great. I was a little rough yesterday after one too many wines on Friday night and too few hours sleep but I managed a catnap when visiting my Aunt lol and played and sang along with the Bat out of Hell album full blast on the drive home to keep me awake!

It's time for our next challenge over at the Christmas Card Club, Sylvie has chosen "Silver plus One".  Here's my card:


Using one of my favourite Marianne Design dies and ivory pearlised card to make a shaped base. Added a peel off sentiment et voila! Perfect for posting!

    I love this die too Carol. I had planned in my mind that it would probably be great for my bulk cards this year. Having seen this gorgeous creation I think I might well stick to plan! It looks beautiful! Christine xx

    Fabulous card Carol, such a pretty die.
    I'm glad you had a great night, even if you did suffer for it the next day - it's bit so bad if you enjoyed yourlself.

    Beautiful! That die is so wonderful...perfect to add a sentiment!
    Amazing how the camera makes the silvers look so different just from the angle you hold it at..loved that you showed your card lying flat as well!
    I had a devil of a time trying to avoid the glare on mine...I need to invest in a mini light tent but I'm a bit of a cheapskate...teeeheee
