Christmas 19

Hello

Thought I'd start sharing some Christmas cards with you all.

The stamps and dies on these were a gift last Christmas from my dear friend over the pond, Lis I love them, shame I had to wait so long to use them. I already have some ideas for next year.

I created the the sparkly background by using navy blue card and sparkly mod podge.

However the first attempt at card one I created a Australian card so had to cut it down and remount it. I've done this twice on my Christmas cards this year but the other will been given to my sister as a unique card, she makes cards so will find it funny.

Thanks for your visit really do appreicate it x

Chalks

Hello

Well this card didn't photograph very good but then the colours wern't very vivid.

I've not really coloured on to Kraft card, I embossed in gold and then used chalks ( I think as I've also got one with Prisma Pencils so I hope I'm showing the chalk one) to colour the flowers, which in hindsight I won't do again as it just doesn't pop.

Stamps are Stamps By Me, I had a good play and will show the others at a later date.

Thanks for your visit really do appreicate it x

Remember

Hello

These were the cards I made for Rememberance Sunday. 

One went over the pond to a dear friend.

I used some Altnew Poppy stamps that came free with a mag, I've seen some gorgeous cards made with Altnew Stamps but I find them a pain in the rear too much faffing for me. 

I've tried several times with different stamps and thought the Poppies might make a difference as I love Poppies but it didn't.

They came with a stencil as well and that was even worse, the second card I had about 3 attempts

because each section is a seperate piece and I kept getting ink where I didnt want it, so I won'e be using that again...lol

Well that's my little moan for day.

Enjoy the rest of your week!

Thanks for your visit, Much appreicated x
