Jingle Belles card 47 ... and Thank You!

Hello there ...

First of all ... Thank You to all of you lovely people who gave me feedback on cutting machines ... and those of you didn't own one but were so kind as to leave me a comment or pass on info from your friends
 I really appreciate it ... You guys are the Best!
The vote went to the Silhouette Cameo and it has been ordered and should arrive today! 
I will let you know how it goes ....

I am just in time to link my 47th card for Jingle Belles Rock ...
This week we are asked to make a card for friends and family who do not necessarily celebrate Christmas 
So here is my card ...


Papers from Websters Pages ... flower from  Pixie Dust Paperie ... holly and ribbon are from my supplies 


The sentiment is computer generated ... 

You may have noticed that my CS also has a subtle flourish pattern to it .. well here in the UK I find it difficult to buy kraft CS ... I have sourced it from SU in the past and PaperMania are now doing pre-cut cards and envelopes in Kraft ... but I bought the Organic Range of digital Papers from Pink Petticoat ... a fabulous set of kraft coloured papers which I can print as and when onto my white card stock, like here ... then I ran it back through the printer using Pink Petticoat Flourishes digital paper in Willow...
These papers are very versatile ... worth taking a look

Ok ... so I have more work to do so I'll bid you good day and hope you find your peace today

Thanks so much for stopping by
Till soon

~ Ros ~

what a great card and great idea about the Kraft digi papers. I've been recommended Pink Petticoat by another friend! Let me know how you get on with The Silhouette and if you got a good deal! xx

Beautiful card, so elegant, I wish I had stuck to this challenge,I hope they do it next year. I'm sorry I haven't commented the last week or so but I'm back with it now. I'm glad you've sorted your cutter problem out, I hadn't a clue so couldn't have helped. Have a good weekend.xxx

Ros this is delightful! I am loving the holly you tucked in with the stick pins! It's a prefect touch for a non denominational celebration. Gorgeous!
