Is this a project you'll be recreating for your Christmas cards this year? Rebecca has made this one in a contemporary icy blue colour theme but by switching the colours up to traditional reds and golds this card could be made into a stunning more traditional project too! 

We'd love to see your makes inspired by this project so be sure to post them in the Stamps by Chloe Facebook Group! 

Happy Crafting,
