CAS Christmas Card Challenge - First Challenge of 2021

Hi Everyone, it's a New Year and and hopefully we will eradicate COVID (or at least have vaccinations for everyone) and make lots of Christmas cards๐Ÿ˜

I always like to have a few Masculine cards available at Christmas.

What a very dapper gentleman Christine and looks terrific over the gothic script you have used in the background, and love the look of the double crazy running stitch edged mat and the style of the sentiment goes perfectly. A brilliant card! It has been great to be the GD this time too. x
