Some 2015 Christmas Cards

Since giving up work in November I thought I would have plenty of time to join in some card challenges and do some blogging - but it hasn't happened. I have been busy making cards tho - my ex colleagues were keen to know what I would be doing with my spare time and were very encouraging when I told them about my card making, so I have left a box cards in the staff room and have they have been steadily buying them - I will get round to putting more of them on the blog sometime ...

Now I know it's a bit late for christmas cards but I noticed this week that Simply Less is More want cards with silhouettes and as a lot of my christmas cards had these thought I would upload a couple and join in.


These were made using some freebie stamps from a craft magazine.
Details : 6"x6" cards, raised linen effect panel cut with stitched circle die.  Distress Inks (faded jeans) and Black Memento Ink pad.   Bit of stickles on the hills and trees.   Snowflakes I've had a long time (can't remember make).  Sentiments were computer generated as some of my christmas stamps have disintegrated!! :(   Snowflakes embellished with flatback gems.

I made a number of similar cards with slightly different compositions and sentiments.
sorry - poor photo quality on this!!
