Hi Everyone
I hope this week has been a good one for you. We actually saw some lovely sunshine here yesterday afternoon .. .. .. but today we are back to rain again.
Yet another Christmas card from me today (apologies to anyone who thinks September is too early but I really do want to have them all finished with by the time December gets here .. .. .. which would be a world first for me!).
This used:
Image and Sentiment: A very old Woodware Clear Stamp Set "FRS292" Christmas Trees
Tree colouring was paper-pieced using Wow! "Stamp Set 65" Scrunch

Distress Inks: Peeled Paint, Twisted Citron and Shabby Shutters
White Embossing Powder

Red Marker
Christmas Red Stickles

.. .. .. and nothing seems complete anymore without a bit of stitching .. .. .. even if it is only eight stiches!
So another Christmas card into the box, and a nice pile prepped ready for just putting together.

I LOVE this card, Jules and The stamp is beautiful and you have done a magnificent job with the paper piecing. Great stitching too. I can't believe that the stamp passed me by.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
Take care.

The Christmas tree stamp is fantastic,the trees such great shapes,a wonderful card.It's never to early to start on Christmas cards
ReplyDeleteLovely Christmas card. Anesha x
ReplyDeleteJust love those quirky trees - shame it is an old stamp (probably just as well actually) or I might just have been tempted to purchase!!
ReplyDeleteLove this Jules … very effective CAS look x
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely Christmas card Jules, love the scrunched inkiness, what a fabulous look and the embossed sentiment is perfect. It's been cold and grey here so off I set with the dogs wearing t shirt and fleece and blow me, the sun comes out and it's boiling hot!! Can't complain though it was nice to see blue sky again. I'm not particularly happy switching on the lamps at 8pm though!! xx
ReplyDeleteYou're on a roll with your Christmas cards..another fabulous card to add to your growing pile...
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend Jules

A really beautiful Christmas card ! I'm also making Christmas cards, to be ready, when December comes. I do hope that the sun will come, it's grey and cold here... Hugs, Enny
ReplyDeleteLovely card Jules and I like your scrunchey paper piecing. xx
ReplyDeleteWonderful card! I love those trees and how you added the colour.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely not to early at all Jules, making all year takes the stress off of having to make them all in November or December! I love these artsy trees, they are so fun! Good to have another one for the stash! Glad you saw some sun, we are back to sun too for a while. I hope your rain moves back out and the sun makes it's appearance once again. Now I'm off to mow the grass! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteLooks great, Jules! And you can never start too early with Christmas cards as far as I'm concerned, Jo x
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous card Jules, beautifully paper pieced.
