Hi crafty friends, I’ve managed a couple more Christmas cards,
inspired by some blog challenges.
I tried my brayer on the embossing folder, not totally successful…bit patchy.
I cut a mask so I could tier the single tree to make a taller one.
The next one I used a blending brush to add some ink to the embossing.
I fussy cut 3 trees to make one taller one…..(which do you prefer?)

Two super cute cards with the singing mice and some clever work with the tree and also the die cutting. I would find it difficult to choose between them and they cover the challenges perfectly 😉
ReplyDeleteTwo sweet Christmas cards here Lesley. My preference is for the first one but only because I like the taller tree.
ReplyDeleteThanks for entering a piece of homework to the Snippets Playground. Breakfast Club croissants beckon!!! X
You are clever to have grown that tree Lesley! Love these kind of shenanigans as it makes our stash go further :) Both cards are lovely but I prefer the blue background for a winter card. Enjoy the sunshine while it's still summer! Vicky xxx
ReplyDeleteClever stuff Lesley! I'm slightly with Sarn, the taller tree just has the edge but both cards are really adorable. You have the patience of a saint!
