Getting into the Christmas Spirit ....

..... now that we're more than half way through November, I am most certainly getting into the Christmas Spirit.  And the card I'm sharing with you today is a Christmas card that I've made for three challenges:

1. St Luke's Charity Card Challenge - where we'd like you to make a Christmas card any theme you like!
2. Colour Q - cQc111 - super colours
3. Clean & Simple - FTL166 - a lovely sketch

While I really like the Colour Q challenge colours, they really are quite autumnal and, as I wanted to make a Christmas card, I decided to have only a splash of the Pumpkin Pie and Crumb Cake.  I concentrated on the Pear Pizzazz and Rich Razzleberry.  I started off by making the bottom and backing panels for the card.  I used the lovely Nordic Winter set from Waltzingmouse and stamped the images in Rich Razzleberry.  I kept the tag quite simple as I wanted the stamped image to really stand out.  I stamped the image in Rich Razzleberry onto white card, cut it out using my nesties and coloured the edge of the panel.  I layered this onto some Crumb Cake and Pumpkin Pie card.  Finally I punched a hole and added some matching ribbon.

I must apologise for the quality of the photo - it's dark and I'm having to do the best I can with my desk light!!  I think I'd like a light box for Christmas :)
