Santa hands out Presents

Hi everyone,

I would love to show you my latest Christmas card!

Santa hands out Presents.. sitting on the Snowy Roof.

 I am just sooooo pleased with how this card turned out especially as its only my second try with Distress Inks!

Its been a bit of a trial trying to find a good smooth watercolour paper here in Melbourne I have to say!

Have to say Tamara had perfect sunny day and she loved her card!

Cards with Hessian

Hi everyone,

I would like to show you some of the cards I have been making over the last few weeks for a florist in my area.

These are only 4 of the 15 cards that I made in a little under 2 weeks - phew!

The blackboard parts on the cards are for putting own sentiments on once purchased.

I was really pleased with the way they all turned out considering I had never made a card with Hessian on, thank goodness for Spotlight for the hessian and blackboard paint!

It was definitely out of my comfort zone but once started it was fun.

Until the next time, happy crafting,
