For this card I've followed the Sketch for the Sketch and Stash challenge #24 - although I've rotated it. I've used my new Clarity stamp for the image on a brayered background. The bp is Dovecraft and the elastic silver trim is from my stash. I've tried to take a decent photo of this several times but in each one the text is less than clear. I'm also entering this into Rainbow Lady's challenge this week - which is to have a Christmas carol as the topic and to use a black base card.
Thanks very much for visiting.

The text look great from my end Beryl and especially on the enlargement. The Clarity image you have used has embossed beautifully.
Lovely card once again!

Beryl this is just so beautiful, you are such a talented lady. I have never used a brayer but it is on my wish list. Just love the colours, the stamp, everything, just perfect.

Hi Beryl. I've just been having a catch up. I love the music paper you found, it looks really old.
All your cute and girly DT work is gorgeous. I thought it seemed like quite a hard theme this month and I love what you've done.
Your three kings stamp is gorgeous too. I think this would fit the Tuesday Taggers challenge this week which is Christmas carols as well.
Hope you have a lovely weekend.

Hi Beryl thanks for the lovely comments. I used the measurements for an a5 step card you can find it here
I used a double fold a5 card which gave me the base for the easel part. Looks a bit complicated but not bad once you get your head round it.

Love your card Beryl! Gorgeous bp and love the brayered background. I can also see the words just fine, which is amazing considering my bad aging eyes!! kxx
