Here is  my inspiration card....

I created a Vintage style card this time around.

I used kraft card for the base, matted and layered the front in silver mirri and red card.

I die cut panels in a fancy shape for the front, smaller than the main mats and used foam tape to adhere to card to give it depth.

I die a bauble and ribbon enbellishment and put glitter in various places on it. Then adhered it to the card to the front. I used a Vintage style topper, adhered to a piece of red card and placed on front using 3D glue gel. I tied a bow in red twine and adhered to front using 3D glue gel.

Lastly I put a red self adhesive pearl in all 4 corners and a Christmas sentiment across the top.

And thats my DT card for this time.

I hope you like it and it will give you some inspiration.

For this challenge I decided on  an all white card...
A Christening card.

I decided on a Vintage/Shabby Chic card for this challenge.

I rounded the corners of a vinatge style topper and matted it on to a pice of red card with the corners rounded also.
I placed two chipboard baubles on the front with a piece of red twine at the top making them 'hangable'. I die cut some ivy and placed it across the bottom of the crd and arranged a Poinsettia and tiny red flowers on top. Lastly I placed a sentiment strip across the middle. I distressed the edges of the paper and turned them up to appear torn.

6 and one eighth x 3" and put them on the front of the card.
I cut a strip of cream card measuring 6" x 1 and a half inches.
Then a piece of patterned paper measuring 5 and seven eighths x 1 and three eighths inches.
I cut out a 'Celebrate' die cut and placed it in the middle of the narrow strip
I shaped the narrow strip so the centre was raised up.
I stuck it to the main card with foam pads.
I die cut various flowers and leaves to decorate the front and put a sparkly gem in the centre of the large flower and tiny seed beads in the centre of the smaller ones.
I put tiny pearls in all corners of the mats.
I stuck a small resin bird in the bottom left corner of card front, stamped a sentiment on a flag banner and stuck that in the right hand corner of the card front.
