I went big and bold for this Christmas card: 6" x 4.5". The drama of gold, red and chocolate demanded something larger than my normal A2-size.
The damask pattern is Hero Arts, and the distressed sentiment is from Tinsel & Twig, an older Girls' Paperie set. Are they even in business anymore? I'm not sure. How excited I was to find that stamp set -- and other fabulous goodies -- in a big kit for $20 at a Tuesday Morning store in Nags Head, North Carolina. Felt like I'd hit the jackpot!
This is yet another magazine-reject. I sure do seem to have quite a few of those!

This is beautiful and oh so elegant Colleen!! Going big was a great idea, love your sheer chocolate ribbon ~ pretty, pretty!!
wow totally gorgeous..
Stunning!!!
So stunning!!
I'm finding I like this size card and will be sorry when my stock of envelopes is gone. I'll have to search some out. Today I received a store bought Christmas card in gold on red and was thinking I will have to remember that for next year. I can honestly tell you that your gold on red card is 10,000 times more gorgeous than the one I received today!
Really gorgeous colors and designs Colleen. Hugz!
