These were made for the Christmas Card Challenge. The gold embossed images were done several years ago when I made programs for a women's luncheon at church. These images were the rejects and much to my surprise, I recently discovered that I had saved them this long. So, I finally used them. To deal with the flaws, I cleverly placed ribbon or used tearing to eliminate the bad spots. Also, I used five SU! green cardstocks to see which one I favored. The white paper was given to me to use for the programs. It does NOT take water coloring very well and even using chalk was difficult as it would not blend on this paper. So, for all but one of the cards, I left the image plain. It's back to SU! cardstock for me! The dark burgundy mulberry paper I've had for years. The lighter, multicolored mulberry paper came from Japan and it was given to me from a friend who visited there. Can't decide which of these cards is best. Can you? TFL

What a GORGEOUS set of Christmas Cards. Very clever to use up the leftover images. Isn't is fun to find ways to hide flaws?! My favorite card is the one on the front right because I love the color combo and the gold embossed swirlies down the left side! :-) Which of the SU Green CS did you decide you like the best? TFS! :-) LM
