Another Christmas card

This is my entry for Fab's Big Christmas Card Challenge the theme this week is tone on tone. This card took me a long time to do as I couldn't think of any thing I could do that was tone on tone. I eventually used some Christmas stamps I've had for 2 years and never used. I used a versamark pad to ink the image and then chalked the white card with green. I then stamped the stars and embossed with gold embossing powder. This was matted onto some dark green paper with holly leaves on it and I made a green base card. The sentiment is from the Crafter's Companion Cute companions Christmas set.

I hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend and the rain is not putting a damper on things.

Late again...

This card is for Fab's Christmas card challenge. It was due yesterday but I'm hoping I will have time to get it in.

This card was for Fab's Christmas card challenge but as usual I'm late it should have been for challenge #11. I couldn't find the right tab for the centre and then I remembered I had bought some round stamps I had never used. So out came the embossing powder and viola I had my centres.

2 cards to show this time.

I've made 2 cards this weekend. It's taken me about 3 days on and off. Hope you like them.
The first is for Fab's big Christmas card challenge, you have to use a triangle card, stencilling or stamping. I have used (can you guess from the picture?) a triangle card. I cut the card on my Craft Robo, the snowflake is a Cuttlebug die and the decoupage is from the World of Beatrix Potter CD, the snow is Flowersoft. It's my first Christmas card this year, not bad for someone who leaves it 'til December to start making cards.



My second card uses a Bugaboo image. The background is a K & Company 6" x 6" pad called classic K. The "I'm late" was cut on my Craft Robo. I know it's garish but I like it, it reminds me of spring. This was my first time at cutting an aperture with words and it took me ages but now I know how to do it, it won't take as long next time. Don't know what I will use it for, might just keep it to look at and see what can be accomplished with patience.
