New Christmas Designs

RED GINGHAM DESIGNS Launching early next week..........
Here's a sample card for one of our NEW Christmas designs which we are launching early next week:



designed by Georgina Sweetenham

This is one of the new designs from our partner company; Red Gingham, call 'Cold, Crisp Kisses' and just look at the detail on the tree, it also comes with the swirly ground effect too.
We love the colour theme that Georgina has used and the tree design has been stamped to create the background too, gorgeous colours -  and imagine if this was made in golds, silvers, dark green or even mono?
What do you think of it? Please leave a comment before 12 noon tomorrow (28 July) and we will pick a lucky winner to send our 'kisses' to!  Do you have any ideas for other uses?
The sentiment is taken from our set of 12 'Christmas Text' sentiments.
