Ornamental Envelopes

Only one more sleep......but have you been good?!

I'm sure you have, ................

in fact most of us haven't had the chance to be anything but!

With this lockdown we can't do much or go anywhere,

but lets be thankful for what we do have.....each other.

This card was inspired by the lovely Sarn from Stampingforpleasure.

I love how the holly hangs from the top.

I added a small bauble, which I coloured and added some wink.

That is from the stamp set Ornamental Envelopes.

 

I just love that sentiment from Merry Christmas to all.

Here's the envelope, but you can see it's a great set for your cards too.

I hope you have the best christmas you can,

take care

keep safe

sleep tight

and "NO PEEKING!"

Joyful Holly with Baubles

 Today's cards are inspired by Bev Brown of the UnikoStudio

who's inspiration can be found HERE

I loved the idea of the rainbow coloured holly, and just happened to have 

Joyful Holly to play with.

I used the Stamparatus to stamp, so that I got a nice black image,

and avoids any mishaps with uneven stamping,

especially as I was stamping directly on the card.

I then used Blender Pens to colour in the leaves.

I decided to keep it simple and not do any shading, then I added Wink of Stella to the berries.

I'm not sure if I should add Rhinestones to the berries, what do you think?

I then tried the same colours on Ornamental Envelopes, a lovely set that can be used

for anything else as well as envelopes!

The branch was from Curvy Christmas.

I felt I had to join the dots to the branch, but wish I hadn't, as they are a bit wonky!

It doesn't show but I added gold wink of stella to the tops of the baubles,

but now I'm thinking......glitter....gilding flakes............

I'm not good at knowing when to stop, so please help!

Enjoy your weekend
