Today Judy shares an elegant, warm and lush Christmas card with us. She used a 3/4″ wide velvet on her card and there is just something about velvet, especially wide velvet, that makes a Christmas card all that much more special. Judy dressed it up a bit more with a Prima flower and the so popular wired beads. If you want to add a festive touch to your projects, those wired beads will surely do it (available in 8 colors). Just twirl and twine them to suit your need/space for that extra special glitzy touch! Again, Judy’s card is quite simple and straightforward, using a pretty die shape and lovely sentiment. This project is very do-able, yet very impressive. We like that! Take a look:

So very gorgeous!  Yet so easy to remake! I like how the sheet of paper used to cut the doily shape looks like “knitting”.
