This posting is to showcase my DT inspiration card for THICC #138.

What: THICC is short for The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenges blog

When: #138, starts April 18, Tuesday, 2023 for 2 weeks

Why: Anything Christmas Goes theme always at THICC; I chose to use a gift tag image freebie received from an organization to use as my focal

Notes:

1. white left-sided folded A2 card

2. dark blue cardstock cut to approx. 4" x 5"

3. silver and white snowflake patterned cardstock = Martha Stewart (cut to about 3"x5")

4. recycled/upcycled gift tag

5. white and silver snowflake dazzles/stickers = Paper Wishes website/Hot Off The Press

6. red glitter foam sticker bow = Hobby Lobby

7. decorative tapes have been in my stash for several years; don't remember the vendors

  3. Such a handsome card with the wisemen! Wonderful design with them accenting the focal sentiment. The blues with the silver/golds is perfect as is the literary reference. So happy you shared with us at Path of Positivity! ~Katirna
