Bah Humbug challenge 21

I can hardly believe I have 21 Christmas cards made already and this week the challenge at Bah Humbug is to use acetate which is something which I rarely use so had to think for this one. I eventually settled on printing out an image from My craft Studio onto acetate and them applying gilding flakes to it. I also just had to use my wonderful prize of a Spellbinders Christmas lights die - background paper is from Artylicious and a small sentiment from Papermania.

Why is it I wonder that as soon as I've completed a challenge card I think of a ton of other possibilities I could have used?? Not to worry there are plenty of weeks left to use these ideas.

Sympathy Card

Not my favourite type of card to make but I do like to have one or two in reserve in case I get a request. The Background paper was created in My Craft Studio using the Flourishes CD and the stamp used was from Oh So Lovely set by Stampin Up courtesy of a kind friend who let me stamp a couple of images - coloured with Copic. On these occasions I feel that simple is best.
