All I Want for Christmas is....

Hello!  I made this card as part of the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown "pick a previous challenge".  I selected sketch #5 from May 2012, which looks like this:
And here's what I did:
To make the bow, I used a fork and followed this video.   It's tricky at first but you get the hang of it after doing a couple of them.  Everything but the decorative paper is from Stampin' Up!.  The decorate paper is some old Basic Grey stuff I had from a cool collection called Figgy Pudding.  Wish they were still making it!

Thanks for stopping by!
Denise

    Fantastic work here, Denise! The cherry red with the light aqua is one of my favorite color combos. I love how you've put both parts of the sentiment together on the card front. Using the heart shape for the first part is a subtle way of emphasizing the "love" theme. I'm so glad you shared this with us at 52{C}CT! :)
