Thanks

Afternoon everyone! I just wanted to share a quick thank you card I made today. My inspiration comes from this card. Knowing that this card was going to my Mum, who loves soft pretty colours and the medallion stamp, it was a no brainer :)

This photo doesn't do the card justice!

I used my 'Kindness Matters' stamp set, which had yet to see ink, 'Fabulous Phrases' for the sentiment and of course the 'medallion' stamp. I clear embossed the medallion, because I dont have pink pirouette ink and the versa mark just didn't show up enough. My colours are very vanilla, pink pirouette, certainly celery and crumb cake. I love these soft colours and hope my Mum does as well!

Thanks for looking!

Christmas Cards #1

I thought I'd share a few of my Christmas cards that I've been working on these past months (yes I started making Christmas cards in June)

 This was actually a card that I made last Christmas, but I love it and thought I'd share it. It uses Mojo Monday Sketch # 165

 I used Stampin Up's "Lovely as a tree"and I stamped off the image in old olive so it wasn't too bold, then added some 2 mm rhinestones from my stash. The flower rhinestone was also from my stash.

 I really like this one. I found out the hard way last year that if you have lots of dimension on your cards, that it cost double to post. So I plan to make a few of these on different colours for those friends and family I wont be able to hand deliver to. I also wanted to have some non-traditional cards (as I tend to only have green and red for Christmas!)
Thanks for looking!
