The card is not how it started out.! It sort of evolved along the way so with no more delay I give you:
On the Seventh Day of Christmas my True love gave to me Seven Swans a Swimming.
Image is by www.countrylifegraphics.com and can be found here.
I printed the swan and the backing paper off in 2 different sizes.
Trellis die cut is by Tonic and part of the Indulgence Soiree set of dies.
Red and green card stock from stash along with red gems.
Flowers came in a swap from USA a while back.
Sentiments printed off in word.
Scallop circle dies by Sizzix 657552.
7 is part of the Britannic die number set.
With a little sprinkling of Glamour Dust to finish.

Your 12 days of Christmas cards are really coming to life. Each day you totally meet your challenge. Fabulous dear...

Thanks for mine which arrived yesterday, it IS absolutely perfect in every way - love it xxx
Just gorgeous,fabulous image and papers.xxx
Lovely card there Mrs A.
Now then, down to business...when does the camel arrive and where are we going to put it now that the bike shed has burnt down? Has Miss got a shed we could use? I doubt she goes in there as it isn't pink!
Operation Nativity MUST get moving as we only have a week to practice and perform it.

How cool that you set a challenge for yourself. Lucky for us that it matched our challenge at Cut it Up. I love how the swans are swimming around the central image.
Thanks for entering our Christmas Challenge at Cut it Up!

Hi Mrs A! Thank you for stopping by! Your 12 Days of Christmas cards are fab. You are very clever. I'm a bit worried about the card you've sent to the salon for me as I don't go there any more. One of my frienda went to pick up my mail a few weeks ago and Keri told her she'd put it in the rubbish. I'm praying that she wouldn't do that to your card! I hope you have a very merry Christmas Mrs A! Xxxx
What a fun challenge! Love your commentaries! Btw, just welcomed you on my blog! And became a follower of yours!

I like how you did the swans wings, and your flowers are beautiful. Great colors and layout. Thanks for joining us at Glitter N Sparkle.
Great idea to get them all on the same page! You are doing so well with your personal challenge to finish these!
Oh, these swans are lovely! We don't seen them where I live (unless we visit a zoo), so seeing them here - and showcased in such a charming fashion - is a real treat! Gorgeous!
