  17. A lovely, traditional quick and easy Christmas card with an elegant flair. I need more and more cards each year. So I'm thinking many of them need to be quick makes. But I'm a slow card maker, so I need all the inspiration I can get.
    Love the idea of using a die as stencil, looking gorgeous in purple, even though I don't make many purple cards, mostly because I don't have much purple in my stash, it's still my favorite color...

  18. Oh, these are beautiful! I especially love the purple butterflies! Gorgeous stencilling! Brilliant idea to use the butterfly die-cut like a stencil! Your Christmas card is cute - the die-cuts are ideal - love the tree!

  19. Wow the Christmas card is beautiful. So simple but elegant. I love the placement of the half pearls. Of course your awesome postage die.
    The butterfly is awesome. The negative work is awesome. The vellum is a great touch. Very pretty card and colors. hugs

  21. Thankyou for sharing your butterfly card with us at Creative Moments. I think I really need to get some more distress inks so I can use them like this (I really only have the neutral colours at the moment).
