card making

christmas card - quick and easy

A simple card.

I used Basic Grey 6x6 stiff paper form a mat pad. Using snowflake vellum stickers I dotted them around a decoupaged snowman sticker and saying.

Speaking of Snowdays - we are having these at the moment with a light covering in Kent on Sunday and hail today.

I love these colours because they are cold yet warm and vintage... yeah for Christmas.

christmas card 6

I wonder who will get this one??

Material

Cosmo Cricket cards
Angel Hair in red with gold flecks
Card stock - green Basic Gray and Brown.
Tree sticker from K&Co


Technique

Layered rectangles of Angle Hair. Mat and layered the card-stock and decoupaged it.

I like to ink around the side of card to hide the white inner layer - try gold or Tim Holtz ink.

christmas card 5 - pergamano

Material

6x6 pale blue card
6x6 Basic Grey to cover the front.
Pearles
NRN stickers for the middle pearl.
4 bronze small brads.
Parchment craft pattern and materials.

Technique.

Covered card with the 6x6 paper that I cut an oval out of (you can see the card colour behind it).
I used a designed from Parchment Craft Magazine and put half on the left and right side of a gate fold.
Attached the design with brads and added some pearls and stickers to the side of the card.

This is the first time I had used metallic gel pens and a water brush to ‘water paint’ the back of the design to show the colour through the front. I then used white work and cutting.

Fairly obvious! The true meaning of Christmas with the angel bringing great joy.
