Winter sprig
Yes I know... it's barely started to be summer and I'm showing a Christmas card. Well I wanted to play along at the Meljen's challenge. And this time it's about our flag color. My flag color for Canada is red and white... and I was a bit tired of doing red and white... so thought this would be a great opportunity to create something a bit different for the red and white!
I have used for this card the great image Winter sprig that you can find here. It's only 1$$$ This time I didn't add any sentiment so this will be a card that can be used for my French or my English friends.
I used some paper from MME - The merry Days of Christmas. I did some embossing with my cuttlebug embossing folder for some added texture and because well just white is a bit boring. I used some festive berries distress ink on the edge of the image.
Here's a closer look at the digi. I really left it bare... just doing the heart in the red.

I really adore the simplicity of this card, Vicky! Lovely embossing. Can't wait to get home to day and start making cards again. I'm so far behind on leaving comments because of being gone to 5 days, but I've taken the time to browse everything you've posted and have at least one I'm going to be CASEing! Beautiful work all the way around. Hugs.
