Today I have the second card design from the Pear and Partridge Christmas card making kit. Just like yesterday's post (click here if you missed it) I will show you the card that is recommended with the kit and then my version. My version of coarse includes the Cricut and a little fancier stamping techniques.
First, the version from the kit:
Now my version using the Artiste cartridge.
