Here’s the card I made for the second World Cardmaking Day challenge at Paper Therapy.  This time the challenge was to make a Christmas card without using red or green.  Since the cards are going to be donated to Operation Write Home, we also couldn’t use any glitter. 

No glitter was no problem for me. I totally despise using the stuff because of the mess factor.  The tree panel is a chalk ink resist that I made several years ago and never found a use for until now.  I trimmed the corners, added a mat and some half pearls in the corners,  tied a ribbon and stamped a sentiment.  That was easy!  I’m not super happy with the way the bow turned out but I suppose it’s all right.

Supplies:
Stamps: Lovely as a Tree, Madonna & Child (Stampin’ Up)
Cardstock: Bordering Blue, Night of Navy, white glossy (SU)
Ink: Night of Navy (SU); Alabaster and Blue Iris chalk inks (ColorBox)
Other: ticket corner punch (SU); half pearls (Kaisercraft); ribbon (Sheer Creations)
