Midwinter


Hello, well things have certainly been a little quite on here, but I needed to be disciplined and make a start/complete the Christmas cards.  I've made quite a few, mainly in batches even though it's not as enjoyable, but needs must.

I've had these aperture cards since -  forever, so time to use!  I embossed the central aperture with the TH Snowflake EF after inking it with various shades of blue,  the little scene is from Artistic Outpost Midwinter and some background stamping of TH Tree Line, and a couple of die cuts.

Well, at least that's a few more for the pile.

I am entering this at Stamping Sensations - Get Ready for Christmas

Thanks for calling in,
Avril xx

    It's a wonderful design - and I am sure the lucky recipients will be as happy with the cards as I was getting your wonderful birthday greetings! Thank you so much dear Avril! That was such a happy surprise for me!
    Hope you had a wonderful time in Budapest!

    Happy weekend

    Wow, this card is awesome Avril! So many different layers of interest and the beautiful stamped cottage in the center. I share your thoughts on batch making but as you say, needs must when we have so many to make. Thank you for joining us in our 'Get Ready For Christmas' theme challenge at Stamping Sensations and good luck. Sandra x.

    This really does speak Christmas Avril, All beautifully framed with that embossed die cut overlay. I love that Winter Cabin stamp, one i've used many times. You may have encouraged me to do a little Christmas crafting myself today..

    Thanks for such. Pretty card, it's reminded me that, I too, have aperture cards lying unloved in a drawer! Must dig them out and add to the stash ready for next year (if the world lasts that long!)
