Postcard

I recently decorated a postcard for a birthday and this is the postcard element.

I stamped the image which is an artistic stamper stamp then coloured it red to colour the script. 

I then distressed the background first with antique linen then embossed the cogs and stencilled keys using vintage photo and brushed cord on the three cogs and round the edges.

Snowmen

I seem to be making cards of just one or two colours and colours that I wouldn't normally pick - like green. This is probably one of my favourite cards so far this year.

Xmas xmas xmas

Well so much for 2 posts a week although have been ill!  However it might ne easier now I have the blogger app on my phone.

I have still been making xmas cards the following card was inspired by a friend and my nestability dies.

demans demands :)

I love the Tim Holtz snowflake rossette die (large size) as I mentioned them to a good friend the other day I thought I had better put a pic on just to prove to her I do review my blog... you know who you are ;)

Anyway all I have done to the following snowflakes is distress them and the white and black one have some glamour dust applied.

Here is a card that I have done with the stampersanonymous blueprint xmas tree stamp, with a snowflake.  The background is a distressed stamped docrafts stamp.

gingerbread and snowman

I have been tasked to blog twice a week!  so her are a couple of xmas cards I have made.

The first one is of gingerbread men in a jar it was a free stamp with a magazine. 

 The second card is using the snow man previously shown but used in a card.

A couple of days ago I went craft shopping with a good friend... probably not such a good idea as I couldn't help myself especially when it came to these xmas stamps from stampersanonymous:

There's 4 stamps the one i haven't included is a snowflake.

For the above I have stamped them using momento brown onto cream card and distressed round the edges with vintage photo
