Joyful Holiday Wishes

 
Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a card with you I made using a pre-colored image from the Gecko Galz May Christmas challenge page.  I printed the image out right away even though I didn't know how I would use it at the time.  I will say Gecko Galz's pre-colored images have really saved me more than once thanks to my migraines.  I have several images/collages printed out to use when I need to focus on something other than the migraine pain.  

This month's provided Christmas image is just gorgeous!! I so wish that it was my Christmas tree.  Looking at the image, I decided to pair it up with some retired SU taken with teal, regal rose and blush blossom card stock so the ornaments would stand out.  Once I had layered the image, I distressed the edges using my Tim Holtz paper distresser before adding some small metallic brushed silver brads then setting aside.  I stamped my Christmas greeting first in memento tuxedo black ink before dry embossing my card using a Cuttlebug© Ornament embossing folder and my Big Shot©.  After sanding the embossed images a bit, I sponged taken with teal ink around the edges before adding my layered image panel using pop up glue dots.

    What a beautiful Christmas card. I love the strong colour of the background.
    I hope your migraine soon goes, they are horrible and can be so debilitating. Take care.
