A QUICK CHRISTMAS CARD

Hi Everyone

I hope you enjoyed your weekend .. .. .. shame about the football result but at least we got to the finals and enjoyed the excitement of the game.  It is also a shame about all the bad and embarrassing behaviour but I am not going to start on that because I will rant on for ages!!!!

Instead I will just share a Christmas card:




This used:

Image:  Visible Imaged "Inked Holly"
Backing Paper:  From my snippet mountain
Gold Embossing Powder
ProMarkers
Red glitter
My Trusty Sewing Machine

I began by heat embossing the image in gold and then re-stamping in black to colour, cut out and add to the embossed image.

So that is another Christmas card into the box .. .. .. I need to pull my finger out on the Christmas front .. .. .. we are over halfway to Christmas 2021 already eeekkk!!!.  

If I want that chilled Christmas build up I promised myself this year I need to be getting a move on!  This year seems to be whizzing by!

Take care everyone.

Catch you soon.

  9. So sorry your team lost Jules, yes it is disappointing when we see bad behavior. I just don't get why people have to act out. No class I guess. I hope you were able to enjoy the game with hubby and your son though! Love your Christmas card! I wouldn't know how to use an image like that, but you did and it is beautiful and artsy! Hugs, Brenda
