This card came together really quickly and easily. There's not much stamping on the front of the card, as I felt this paper worked really well on its own. I cut a mat layer in black and distressed the edges of the mat and design paper. You can't really see it in the photo, but the palm has a lovely subtle shine. I simply added a sentiment to finish the front. Most of the work was on the inside - I cut another mat layer in black and a panel in white, distressing the edges of both. On the white card I stamped another sentiment and a few more palm trees. Then I got busy with my Distress inks adding colour to the edges of the card and leaving a white highlight in the centre as a suggestion of the sun!
I'd like to think that the weather in the UK will be hot and sunny, but I think it's fair more likely to be a warm and wet!! I'll keep my fingers crossed.
Bye for now - see you tomorrow with the new 52 {Christmas} Card Challenge - it's a good one!
