Welcome Christmas...


Since I seem to have left fall cards lately and moved onto Christmas cards....don't ask me why, I have no idea.. fall seems like it just began....I made another for The Cutting Edge Challenge




I chose my Impression Obsession small evergreen tree set for this challenge. 
They are so pretty, and I have been using them so much, that now I think I need the larger set,too.
 I guess I DO  have an Obsession with dies!

The sentiment in the inspiration photo reminded me of SU's retired Heard from the Heart sentiments. That was a great set, I use it all the time! It worked well for this card,too.

 I also added a tiny red heart to complete the card.

Have a great day everybody!



Paper: white textured,SU retired DP, real red

Stamps: SU Heard from the Heart

Ink: SU black
Dies: Impression Obsession evergreen trees, Lawn fawn journal die set,
