G’Day Friends,
Today I’m excited to share a joyful and easy-to-make Christmas card created with the Christmas Wishes Card Collection. This card takes inspiration from the Across the Waves theme this month – Dots or Stripes. Be sure to check out what Robbie has created.
Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned card maker, this project comes together quickly with just a few supplies. Let’s dive in!
Card Design –
The arch window works well here giving the Christmas Wishes Paper a fun, modern colour palette that you could easily turn into a shaker card. It allows the bauble to shine without taking over the whole show.
