A LITTLE BIT OF CHRISTMAS

Hi Everyone

Happy Thursday!!!

What a fast week .. .. Friday tomorrow ALREADY!!!

I have managed to make an appearance tonight with a little bit of Christmas.  This card has only taken four days to make!!  Every time I have picked it up to work on something else became more urgent and meant it was put to one side.  

But finally it is finished and uses a pre-loved Penny Black stamp that I gained from E-Bay last week. Can't believe I was the only bidder!  Poor un-wanted little stamp :-(  It will be loved and cared for by me though. 




This used:

Image:  Penny Black "1508K" Caroling Hedgehogs
Sentiment:  Penny Black "30-140" Christmas Cheer Transparent Set
Backing Papers:  First Edition Paper "Vintage Noel"
Tattered Lace Die:  "D437" Christmas Florals Holly
Nestabilities:  Small Deckled Mega Rectangles
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Diamond Stickles
ProMarkers
Ribbon from My Crafty Stash Box

and there we go!  At least whilst I was at it I coloured in three images all th same so the next two cards should be a bit quicker than four days .. .. .. hopefully LOL!!!

Right, I am going to be a good girl and put an insert inside and package it up  .. .. .. straight away!!

Enjoy your evening and I will hopefully catch you again soon.

Love

  6. Love your last sentence Jules and I need to learn from it. All the cards I have made over the few months haven't got inserts in. I then have to spend hrs sorting the inserts and boxes before craft fayres!!!
    Your card is gorgeous and lucky for you that you were the only bidder - an adorable image.
    Have a lovely Friday and Weekend.
