Rocking Horse w/Toys Christmas Card

Hello Blogger friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with The Charmed Life Blog today. 

Well, I finished up addressing all my Christmas cards. This one was sent off to my friend in Washington. It was one of my Splitcoaststampers color challenge cards. She is on the design team with me. She commented that the card reminded her of a rocking horse her daughter had when she was little. So of course, I had to send her the card. She will be surprised when it arrives in her mailbox. 

I am ready to start my Christmas baking now. I am scaling back this year because I am on the Paleo diet and not doing sugar. So, I don't want to be tempted with all the candy and cookies I usually make. I am only making Pizzelles and my mini lady locks. My hubby is ok with it so that's good enough for me.

Now onto my card for today. this one I made for the color challenge #975 on Splitcoaststampers. We were to use cherry cobbler, night of navy and shaded spruce for our color trio.

 Optional was to use designer paper. I had the perfect paper- it's from the Stampin' Up "wrapped in plaid " collection. In fact, if you have this paper there is a sheet in the collection that has all 3 of this week's colors.

For my Christmas card, I used the CottageCutz Rocking Horse w/Toys die and cut in the challenge colors plus a couple of neutrals.

I used an edge die from MFT to cut the white panel and layered my images there. Added a few night of navy resin stars and stamped my Hero Arts sentiment in night of navy ink.

The bottom half of the card is featuring the designer paper in the cherry cobbler and shaded spruce colors. I like the gold trim on this design.

Well, that's it for me for this post. So, until next time......God bless.
