Forever Friends Christmas

Hello bloggers a simple Christmas card for you today!

This card began as a white hammered DL card blank.  To the front I adhered to different papers.  Next onto white card stock I stamped my image using a free forever friends stamp and aged mahogany distress ink.  I then die cut the image with Spellbinders 'lacy squares' die set and then coloured with ProMarkers.  The topper was then attached to the card.  Next I stamped the sentiment directly onto the top patterned paper using aged mahogany distress ink and Creative Expressions 'Christmas topper' stamp set.  Finally a holly sprig was printed from Polka Doodles 'paper boutique II creative Christmas' CD-ROM.   It was then fussy cut and added to the card.

Merry Christmas - Robins

Hello bloggers, today's card is a Christmas card with three delightful robins.

This card began as a white hammered DL card blank.  I attached some traditional Christmas patterned paper to the card and then cut it to size.  I then inked the edges with pine needles distress ink.  Next onto some white card stock I stamped the robins using aged mahogany distress ink and Creative Expressions 'robins' stamp set.  These were then die cut using Spellbinders 'lacy squares' dies. The robins were coloured using ProMarkers.  The toppers were adhered to the card blank using foam tape.  Finally the sentiment was stamped using festive berries distress ink and the same stamp set.  It was then die cut using Spellbinders 'back to basic tags', I then inked around the edges with the festive berries distress ink.  The sentiment was then attached to the card and  cosmic shimmer pearl berry red  was added to the tag holes.
