To You & Yours New Christmas Set

Before posting today's card, I just want to tell you that I will post the winner of my mini giveaway later today, along with the directions for yesterday's cards & magazine card holder.

I tried my new set tonight for the first time. It's called 'To You & Yours', and it's got two images and 4 different sentiments. I made a quick card with it, so I kept it simple. A little too simple, I think! Anyway, here it is:

 

The dove is so wispy and graceful that it was just crying out for glitter!

 

I'm not sure if brown is much of a Christmasy color, but I wanted the card to be subdued. In keeping with that, I stamped off the dove before stamping the image I used (in Chocoate Chip), as well as the sentiment. The glitter was added by drawing the lines with my 2-way glue pen, then dousing it in Dazzling Diamonds. YES - I USED GLITTER ON A CARD AGAIN!! And speaking of which, I got somee of the chunky glitter in an order yesterday, and it looks so gorgeous in the jar that I can't wait to use it! I wish I'd had it for Halloween, because the black is really neat looking. The red is gorgeous! The reason I got it was for the clear, which looks very snow-like to me.

Let me know if the brown is all wrong for a holiday card; Also, is it too "wedding-y"?? I'm curious to know if I just have weird taste!

Here's the recipe -

I really like it - sometimes simple is so very elegant and classy. And the glitter makes it perfect. You know, I was an avid glitter hater for a long time, due to the mess I alwasy made, and finding glitter all over the house, no matter how careful I was. But now I believe it really has it's place! My favorite part of the card - the 2 different embossed pieces.
