Hi everyone

Today's card looks absolutely gorgeous in the flesh. I have used papers from First Edition 'Silent Night' pad, I love these papers, every single one is just beautiful.

I have used distress inks on the poinsettia for a more dramatic effect, and I've added pearl
flourishes to each of the baubles and a chipboard sentiment.

Hi everyone

It took me ages to make today's card but I do like how it turned out. It looks so much
better in reality, the photo doesn't do it justice.

I layered up the holly leaves to form the tree and added 'snowtex' to the leaves.

Good evening peeps

I have to say this is one of my favourite cards to date.  Its the first time I've used acetate on an
aperture and I love how this has turned out.
I've used papers from First Edition 'Silent Night' pad. I stencilled a couple of snowflakes onto
the acetate and adhered some crushed ice onto the back to make a frosted window.
The bauble is a die by Spellbinders. I added some voile behind the wooden sentiment for
added texture.

Good evening peeps

Got a couple of cards for you today,  for the first one I have used papers by Trimcraft, the vintage Santa image is by Craft & You,  I'm lucky enough to live very close to Cannock Chase (5 minutes walk) which is a huge forest and I've been foraging for pine cones. I've used 'Snowtex' on the cone.
I thought the cinnamon sticks added to the vintage feel.







For the second card, I've used papers from First Edition 'Gilded Winter' pad.
The die cut tree has been covered in crushed ice

Hope you like and thanks for stopping by...
