Thought I'd try a Fusion card today... something a little different for Christmas
I started with a scrap of black card and embossed the sentiment from a new Kaisercraft set (full of Christmas quotes) and then over stamped with white ink which I then smudged over the card. I trimmed it then added some sketchy lines and a doodle in the corner. I mounted on some brown card that had been coloured to imitate wood with two distress inks. I cut my PP with one of the curved dies from Spellbinders and added to a Neenah Desert Storm cut to a base. This is a big wider and shorter than I usually use as it's a US size pad. Instead of a banner, I used some chiffon ribbon and tied a bow. I finished with a resin rose that I had made. As I've got a bow on this, I'm also entering this into the challenge over at Creative Craft Cottage (this is a New Zealand based challenge blog ~ got to support the local gals)

It was a cold, wet and windy afternoon, so I made a visit to Scotties to pick up some American Crafts foil card stock that was on special for $10 for a 12x12 pack of 30 sheets. Half price, so pleased to pick this up. Also got the Kaisercraft set. Back home, I settled into the craft room for the afternoon. Got this card done, and another Christmas card that I'll share later in the week.
Hope the weather is better at your place. Have a super crafty weekend.

Overcast and dry down here, with some sunny spells. I spent the afternoon crafting too, but finished too late to photograph it as the light was too 'yellow'.
Great card BTW - and a great take on the challenge. Love the way you have done the chalkboard technique.

This is so well done, Dawn! Love the use of chalkboard (so beautiful!!) in this! Your pattern paper and ribbons are the perfect touches!
Hard to imagine Fall or Winter as we're having such a dry, warm summer--no complaints! Love your beautiful Christmas card, Dawn!
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing at WAW!
Dawn,
I really enjoyed your post and the card is so sweetly Christmas. That sheer white ribbon and bow is darling.
