Christmas

Hello, welcome to my blog. Today we begin a new challenge

at My Time To Craft - the last for the year will be appropriately

Christmas

Please check out the blog to see details and the DT inspiration.

I used a bought card with a pretty embossed border, with a

centre oval panel. I created an oval, and stamped on the Tall Tails

Robin from a lovely set by Katy Sue Stamps. 

I coloured him with Promarkers and gently dusted the 

perimeter with green cdhalk and dotted red berries.

Quickie Christmas Card

Hi, welcome to my blog. Today begins a new challenge
at Sparkles Monthly Challenges  blog.
The last challenge for the year chosen by me, will be
A Quickie Christmas Card or a Happy New Year card.
Please check out the blog for details and to see the DT inspiration.
For my card, needing a quickie I used a bought card, with a pretty
embossed border, which I lightly dusted with green chalk, with a red pen
dotted on some berries.
The Santa stamp is a favourite of mine from Stampendous stamps.
I coloured with Promarkers and sprinkled the usual Christmas glitter.
Hope you like my quickie card.
