A few more Christmas Cards


This one is doing my head in - it's not this way up on my computer but blogger wants it to be sideways!

I just want to record all my cards so I can remember what I've made.

Bah Humbug


Every year in January I make the sensible decision to make about 8 to 10 Christmas cards each month and then have a stress-free Christmas. And do I? Do I humbug-gery! So consequently I am running round like a blue-bottomed elf trying to get it all done. I bought the Christmas puds and robin cutouts from The Glitterpot and was quite pleased with how they turned out. I pinched the idea of "colouring" the Christmas pud with glitter from the example on display in the shop. I did plan to do the same with the robin but didn't like the way the red glitter I bought turned out. It was called burgundy and had a black undertone that didn't look very jolly.I then tried embossing the robin with Cranberry embossing powder but that looked a bit ropey too so in the end I just coloured him in with a sakura pen.

The sentiment is from Elzybells
