Welcome
I have not got the Christmas blues, but this is the card that I taught at my card class last week. I still have not got onto my own cards yet - I have been distracted by another big project, but I cannot say anything about that yet...

I started with blue base and layered a textured white layer over it.

Next came an oval in the same blue as the base.
Then the stamped layer, which was fussy cut by hand as I don't have the die.
I added some chalk to the image, and made an 'eye' with a wee dot of liquid pearl.
The card was finished with some blue seam binding, and pearls.
The image is a retired Layers Of Color stamp.
Thank you for visiting, and I deeply appreciate any comments you may leave.
May your day be blessed.

This is a great Christmas card Maxine. The dove stamp and the pretty colours you used make it look vintage, which is one of my favourite styles!
