Case yourself.

Day 22 of of Beccy Muirs A Month of Holiday Cards Challenge and we were tasked with casing a card of our own that we had made previously.
Now This really did have me running for the hills. I can't case anyone else let alone myself but I dutifully looked through my photo stash and finally came up with this card that I made to send to a friend way back in 2012.

Here is the original card  Dec 2012


New card Nov 2018

The stamp is by Rogue Redhead Designs and came free with Craft Stamper Magazine.  I have coloured using the same promarkers pens and pearlescent chalks which are not showing up but are there IRL. The sentiment is by Phill Martin from his set of Scribled christmas Sentiment Corners.
I have a cousin who has just lost her husband and as we send each other christmas cards I have made this card with her in mind.  I don't want to send  her something happy and jolly but don't want to not send a card at all so hopefully this card will be ok.

Great job reproducing your card in a new way! I think you've created the perfect card for your cousin, to share love and support and let her know you're thinking about her, while at the same time, honouring the fact that the last she'll be feeling, is jolly. Beautiful job! Thanks for sharing this with us at Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenges
