This is my card made from images from "The Graphics Fairy". I cut out the image with scalloped craft scissors, glued it to a blank card. I then enhanced all the colors, e.g. berries and leaves, with my gel ink pens. I scribbled with my Red pen and then wrote Merry Christmas over the scribbles.
I cut out a spray of greens from another card and glued it to the side of the card. I did the same with the envelope by cutting out a spray of blue vine and flowers and glued it to the flap. I love the way this came out and made two.
The Graphics Fairy provides free graphics very generously on every subject you can think of! I just love all the vintage images. Check it out.

This one has the green sprig at the side. When using gel pens to enhance, be careful not to smear your image as they remain moist for awhile. I blotted as I went along and then let them dry well.
Another great source for images is Dame Penniwig's Both of these blogsites provide images for your use totally free. I have used them for years.
You can buy blank cards at Wal-mart, A.C. Moore or Michael's Craft stores.
Have a most wonderful day and please come back soon!
