I'm an Elf For Christmas Kickstart Challenge #107 - Christmas Sing-Along - 12 Days of Christmas Partridge in a Pear Tree (Arden Ornaments, SB Christmas)

Hello,

Guess what: For the second time, wonderfully creative Jo invited me to be an ELF for Christmas Kickstart Challenge #107! Of course, my response was an enthusiastic "Heck, YES!" 

As you likely know, but just in case you're new here, the idea behind her challenge is that her guest designs a card which she, in turn, draws inspiration from in creating her card. Then, she invites everyone to join in the fun with their takes on the theme and/or cards shared. A great way to get a lead on those Christmas cards we'll be needing.

For this month, the theme is


My card showcases papers and ephemera from my Spellbinders Christmas Card Kit, inspired by the classic “Partridge in a Pear Tree” from The Twelve Days of Christmas. To add visual interest to the front panel, I incorporated a layered ornament die from a new-to-me company: Arden Creative Studio. This was their debut outing in my craft room—and judging by the results, these dies will be making many repeat appearances as the festive season approaches. So much fun!


Please head over to the Christmas Kickstart Challenge blog to see what Jo has created; it's fantastic!
Looking forward to seeing what Christmas tunes we'll be singing along to in the gallery! 

Thank you for dropping by!

Thanks so much for saying 'Heck Yes!' to a return visit! I'm tickled pink to have you as our inspirational elf again this month. I LOVE your card so much, and it turns out these gorgeous dies are available here in the UK (oh dear!). Your layering and attention to detail are awesome, Carol, such a gorgeous creation. Thanks again and big hugs, Jo x
