Well I finished most of my Christmas shopping yesterday and it is a good job because it is raining stair rods at the moment. I have printed the lists off for my Christmas cards and highlighting the ones that I need a special card for, I may even start writing them this evening. I may sound very prepared but i'm not really, I still have loads of cards to make.

This card I am entering for CD Sunday and the CD that I have used is "A Walk on the Wildside"

I have used an A4 sheet of black card and scored and folded at 1/3 of the width. I covered the inside surface with leopard print with a contrast paper on the outer 1/3 and a border down the joining. I matted and layered the outer front piece with gold, black and leopard print. I then printed the lion image and the sentiment onto photographic paper after adjusting them in MCS. I then matted and layered with black and gold and adhered them with foam pads, The rings at the bottom were from a bead belt that I found in a charity bucket for 50p, after dismantling it I had hundreds  of ethnic looking wooden beads of all shapes and sizes - bargain :-) Lastly the bow was made from string from my greenhouse
