Christmas cottage card - Holiday Home



I've started making Christmas cards, inspired by some dies I purchased recently.
This little house in the Holiday Home set is one of my favourites and I love the greeting, too.
The wreath around the edge plus the snowflakes finished it off nicely.


I think I'll have trouble giving this one away ...

Supplies:
Holiday Home polymer stamps - Stampin' Up
Real Red, Marina Mist, Whisper White and Hunter Green cardstock - Stampin Up
Small Snowflake dies - Impression Obsession
Wreath die - Tupelo Circle - Memory Box
Uniball Signo white pen

Spring Blossoms


A birthday card I made this week for a stamping friend.
I love colouring with Prismacolor pencils on coloured cardstock, and especially seeing the white pop against the background. But when I tried adding white trim to the card it didn't seem quite right, so I dulled the white blossoms a little by colouring a very light layer of tan over the top.
