Rita chose the theme this time which was Christmas Carol.
Looking through my used Christmas card stash I came across this pretty wreath which had sheet music in the background. Can't see what the song is though!
Iv'e made another acetate fronted card.
I do like making these and they look classy.
I have used copper pearlesent card stock to create
the base card and gold stickers on the spine and acetate.
My second card to use my stash of stamps,digis, embossing folders, stencils does cheat a little
bit this time as I have used a christmas card front on it as well but it was required for the stamp
image that I have used namely my Penny Black 'Caroling Duck'!
I've used Acetate for the front of the card
and adhered the 3 kings onto the base card.
Now everyone sing along with Mr Duck
We three kings of Orient Are.............
Hope you approve Rita of my tongue in cheek card.

Two lovely cards Valery...just love the image with the music on the first card and the fun duck on the second....made me smile! Xxxxx
I especially love the first one with the acetate front Valery and a floral wreath always appeals.
It was bad new about our rehab as I too am having a relapse and there are more on their way, not sure if there is a way up from here.

Two great cards Mrs A. My favourite is the first. The wreath and music look fantastic but I love the little carolling duck on the second. A lovely addition. Barbxx
Beautiful cards! I love the look of the cards with acetate.
Definitely your acetate card covers are classy & also unique! Very pretty, and love that you're whittling down the old Christmas card stash so well. Got a big chuckle out of that duck with the 3 Kings. Now that is just clever use of your caroling stamp and old cards. This duck always makes me smile! WTGo. Good luck with the internet woes. TFS & Hugs

Hehe, your duck does add a certain something to the card! The wreath on the first card is certainly very pretty and brill through the acetate.
Two fabulous creation, love the acetate card, gold looks fab with the bronze, acetate and me do not get on at all well.

These are so lovely. The caroling duck made me smile! Perfect for the Christmas Card brief. I have a similar PB stamp and I never thought to use that...what a brilliant idea!
That collage card is so lovely. I like the musical score paper tucked in and the pretty holly accents. Perfect with this wreath image.
Thanks for taking part in the May Rudolph Days Challenge.

Both of these are fabulous! Love the acetate front on the first one and the duck is so cute on the second! I am singing along! xxx
Both designs are really fabulous and love the acetate.

This isn't particularily the song I wanted in my head for Memorial Day but it is a wonderful carol! You have inspired me to use acetate on the front of a card. These are both beautiful and I love how you decorated the acetate. Adding the Caroling Duck with the sentiment is so fun for this card.
Hi Mrs A,
such gorgeous cards for your Christmas Club.
I love how you do the acetate fronts, and your designs are super.
Now you have us all humming that carol.
Roll on Christmas. LOL.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Great use of the acetate Mrs A, the duck brings a smile and the first card is so beautiful.
Love and hugs

Gorgeous musical cards and i'm loving the cheeky little PB duck and thanks for joining us at May's Rudolph Days Challenge, sorry for the delay only i've been cruising round the Med, Luv Sam GD x
Two fab makes Mrs A, do love the duck...and yes I'm singing! Sorry I'm so late commenting...will meet myself coming back soon! Carol x
Well Mrs A had to do check through to find it, but do love your card which arrived downunder today.
Thanks so much for thinking of me, sorry I didn't send one your way, very slack of me...
I must say I love the way you've used the acetate and overlaid the Penny Black image of the singing duck to tie in with the Carol.
Well done and thanks so much again.
Thanks for sharing,
