Well, I have actually made a start on my Christmas Cards! Thought I needed to after doing some blog visiting last week and realising that it's 1st November on Friday.
I have used the Stampendous 'Snowy Postcard' on kraft card and stamped again on white for the scene, which was given a good sprinkling of Flower Soft, which I bought about 4 years ago and this is the first time it's been used.
The background paper was stamped with HeroArts Christmas script using Versamark and dusted over with Perfect Pearls bronze. I have made about 12 of these, although a bit tedious, I find doing a 'production line' of stamping and cutting, then as I watch T.V. I do all the d/side tape bits ready for assembly, easier when time is short. To stop the boredom I use different papers and ribbons.
I am entering this at:
Talking of time being short.........that's it for now, hope to show the next 'batch' soon.
