FEZZIWIGS FESTIVE FROLICS

Hi Everyone

Happy Thursday .. .. we have woken up to sunshine today!  Yay!!  Let's hope it is going to last!

I am playing along with Fezziwigs Festive Frolics Challenge today where the theme this fortnight is "Festive Florals".

Not too many of those in my collection so I am hoping a partridge in a pear tree will count.



This used:

Image:  Stamps to Die For "Danielle's Partridge" plus matching die
Sentiment:  Clearly Besotted "Rockin' Robin"
Backing Paper:  This is an old snippet of design paper that I created a while ago by printing a Pink Petticoat script design onto white card and then I ran it through my printer again to add a green snowflake design on top.  I designed this paper years ago and have re-created it over and over again as I love it so much.
ProMarkers
Glossy Accents
Ribbon
My Trusty Sewing Machine

and that is another Christmas card into the box.  Woo hoo!

I'll catch you again soon.

    Another gorgeous Christmas card for your collection. What a clever idea with the backing paper - one to remember and maybe try to do something similar. Thanks for the continuing inspirations.

    Hi Jules,

    A beautiful Christmas card and a beautiful sunny day to make it!! Love the papers and colours.

    Haven't got into Christmas yet, as I have quite a few left from last year.

    As I am writing this Jules, we have hail stones storming down and covering the grass like snow!!

    Thank you for your lovely message you left me on my last post. I am finding that Needle Felting is quite addictive and very enjoyable. But as I supply 2 Care Homes with cards, I have to make at least 150 to keep in stock. So I have to force myself to put my wools away and have to get my card making mojo back in order. I have made a start and will get a few made tomorrow.

    Love and hugs
    Carol xxxx

    A beautiful card, I would never have thought of designing paper the way you have, what a great idea. Apologies for not visiting your blog recently, home life took over! I've given you a mention on my blog, thanking you for a link to an image. I hope you don't mind, but I did sort of case your design!!! Have a great weekend

    I love your card, Jules. The patterned paper you've made is absolutely beautiful - what a brilliant idea to over-print with a second design. Love the colours too, really warm and rich. Been a bit of a whirlwind here with being back at school and selling the house, which has sold after only being on the market for 2 weeks. Need to find somewhere to live sharpish! Hope all is well with you xx
