Green in winter

This is another of my 'make one, make five for a pack' quick cards, this time using some vellum wrap that I've had in my Christmas stash box for at least four years - and I've still got plenty of it - and pictures from Dovecraft paper.

I know it's very simple, but sometimes 'less is more' and sometimes people want to buy cards like this rather than any 'busy' ones.

Update: Having seen indybev's comment on behalf of Three Muses, I feel I need to explain that in no way am I trying to advertise sales of my cards. I make and sell cards to raise funds for Tearfund, but this is within the home among friends and neighbours and I don't seek in any way to advertise my cards for sale here. I only mentioned what kind of cards people sometimes buy in order to explain the simplicity of this one.

It's for these challenges:

Moving along with the times 64: 'Christmas'
Other lovelies thoughtful Thursday 26: 'C - my C is for Christmas'
Bah! humbug 36: 'text'
The three muses 68: 'the printed word'
Daisy doodles 17: 'keep it simple'
I did it 22: 'keep it simple'
Secret crafter Saturday 101: 'anything goes'
Shabby tea room 27: 'fresh living' - nature and/or green
Corrosive 82: 'clean up the dust' - the vellum is at least four years old
Alphabet: 'U for unused stash' - the vellum is at least four years old

  13. Your cards are lovely, Hazel, but I think there may be a bit of a misunderstanding as to the purpose of our challenge blog. We encourage art in any form created specifically for our weekly challenge; however we are not a platform for sales, feeling that Etsy or EBay fill that need, and obviate multiple entries. We certainly appreciate your talent and interest, we just wish to clarify the purpose of our challenge blog.
