Lovely as a Sparkling Glittery Tree

Here are a few of my favourite Christmas cards to make and teach. For any of you that have been to my Christmas card classes you will recognize a version of this card. It is so simple and elegant and not overly Christmasy. This set really is Lovely as a Tree - it isn't even a Christmas set but it is one of my favourites for Christmas cards. Like the Baroque Motifs you can use it as a background in other cards with other sets (example to come...).

These cards use almost the same supplies - Dazzling Diamonds glitter and 2-way glue, Whisper White and Not Quite Navy CS and NQN ink. The card with the oval was also sponged with Baja Breeze ink. The other card has a piece of NQN grosgrain ribbon which I couldn't manage to fit onto the other card and have it look like it was supposed to be there. For the sentiment I used the Sincere Salutations set which is a great set, if you changed it you could have a great Christmas party invitation or a winter thank-you card.
