The TSC was issued by Shirley (Wannabcre8tive) this week to make a Christmas card with Blue, Lavender, Snowflake and border punch.
I love blue, but lavender and I do not get along, so rather than be a cheetah, I painted a light coat of Lavender Sparkling shimmer paint on some of the embossed snowflakes. The Deer Die cut is new from Tim Holtz, and is done on faux suede. The sentiment is from Close to my Heart and the inside reads "that puts Christmas in the air". The Cuttlebug EF is my favorite yet, and was lent to me by Judy Kell who has made her fabulous Christmas cards using it! Thanks Jude! See Judy's card here.
Thanks for looking!
Psst..There Peggy! Hugs.....

Me thinks you may be a cheata Ms. Pat. But, it doesn't matter as this is a most wonderful holiday card. I do see those sparkles of lavender. That reindeer die cut is awesome. That bookmark tie adds such a special touch and I, too, love that ef. Only 7 hours till my real cowboy gets home!! Yee Haw!

Wowsers, Pat!!
You got SUEDE paper out there??? Licking my chops here!!!
Love that new EF - all those beauteous swirls with the snowflakes look amazing!! Cool idea to paint on the sparkly shimmery paint to avoid cheating on the "purple" part of the challenge!! LOVING that deer die cut !! You and Judy have really 'worked' this Efolder to the best advantage!! You rocked this card, Sistah!!

What a beautiful Christmas card - has a magical feel to it. That book mark tie just totally makes this card although the ef is special and so is the die cut. Stunning as usual - you never disappoint! LY!1
