Krafty Chicks challenge #742 - Christmas

Good morning lovely friends.  I hope you're all doing ok and having a great week so far.  It's time for a new challenge over at Krafty Chicks challenge.  This week is Week 2 and as always the theme is 'Christmas' and I am your hostess.  We want to see all your festive creations this week, and as the big day is not that far away now I'm sure we will have lots of entries.  We hope you will come over and join in the fun with us. 

I wanted to make a pink Christmas card this week, as I haven't made one yet, and I think they look so pretty.  I went fairly clean and simple once again and my card took no time at all to complete.  I hope you like it. 

Here is my card:

A close up of the cute die cuts:

Plus I decorated the inside:

I began by cutting a white panel 4" x 5 1/4"; I took a pink ink pad and smooshed some ink onto the top centre portion of the panel.  I also added some pink ink splatter and white gouache splatter for some extra interest.  I had some die cuts ready cut and left over from last year so decided to grab them and use them up.  I chose 2 houses, 1 tree and a cute tiny snowman.  I added 3 layers to each and adhered them together with liquid glue.  Using a t-square ruler I placed them onto the panel with liquid glue.  I stamped a sentiment in the same pink ink and die cut it out with a sentiment strip die.  I added this with foam squares below the houses.  I finished off with a few pink pearls.  The panel was added to a pink card base (for a change) with foam tape.  For the inside I cut another white panel 4" x 5 1/4" and ink smooshed along the bottom of the panel.  I added one house and a snowman in the left bottom corner and stamped a sentiment in black ink.  The panel was added to the card base with double sided tape.  A really simple card but the pink colour along with the white die cuts really packs a punch I think.
