Christmas Crafting with Let's Craft Together blog hop

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.

Tonight I'm hopping with an awesome bunch of talented Australian crafters who love sharing with you!!

Our challenge this month is all about colour!!  

And I've been guided by the inspiration picture too with my Christmas card.

The stunning Golden Greenery dies work really well for the 'tree' detail, and I've added some shimmery white embossing paste to give them shine detail!  

The baubles come from the Unbounded Love dies using the Moody Mauve cardstock. I've added extra colour using a blending brush and ink, as well as a little shimmery white embossing paste and a touch of white ink in the centre to highlight the rounded shape.

The absolutely gorgeous Cherry Cobbler ribbon ties bows so beautifully!!  And my greeting comes from the Joyful Sayings Mix and Match pack.  I actually layered 2 of the same greeting.

My card base is the Pretty Peacock, but I've chopped up a Brushed Gold card for the front and inside panels - easy way of creating a backgound!!

Make sure you keep hopping to see lots of amazing inspiration just for you!
