There are lots of symbols that represent the celebration of Christmas, from evergreen boughs to jolly old Santa. Fortunately for card makers we are spoiled for choice when it comes to subjects for stamping and colouring. Sometimes it's fun to work with a lesser used symbol such as a plum pudding, pair of ice skates or in my case, a sleigh.
YOUR TURN: Use a Christmas symbol as the focal point of your card.

Oh, that is a royal christmas card with the golden sleigh, Beccy!
What a great bow!

This is gorgeous Beccy, the sleigh works so well as the focal point. I love the papers and lush red ribbon.

That is one fantastic sleigh! Looks like you took a lapel pin and pinned it onto the card. (You didn't, did you?) Beautiful card!
Hi Debi,
Nope, it's not a lapel pin, although that's a great idea!
The sleigh is actually a die that I cut once in red and once in gold. Then I used a pair of scissors to trim away parts of the red I didn't want, glued them together and finished with some crackle medium.
Cheers,
Beccy
Wow, that's a beautiful sleigh! Is it a die cut? It looks so substantial - just gorgeous! Would love to receive an elegant card like this! Please share how you made the sleigh!
Love the texture of the red on the sleigh. The gold gives the sleigh elegance. What die is it that you used - it is fabulous. I love how the ribbon is tied like a Christmas present too.
This is gorgeous!!!! so beautifully done.....luv it!!
Fabulously elegant, Beccy!!! Love your explanation of how you created the sleigh...brilliant technique.
Hugs,

Fantastic card as ever Beccy - love the gold reflective sleigh and Carla is right - your bows are to die for!
Love it Beccy ! It's like a chocolate box you've created ;)
I need to go shopping and get some crackle medium. I've seen you use it in several ways and it really adds an extra detail that makes the image look beautiful. Gorgeous sleigh...gorgeous card. P.S. Saving all your card pics for inspiration...hubby's in hospital so once he's home, I can start creating again.
Okay, I have to say your cards get more and more gorgeous everyday Beccy! I love, love, love this sleigh! You have definitely managed to get my creative juices going. Can't wait to get into my craft room tomorrow! Once again thanks so much for the inspiration!
Beautiful, love it Becky
