Preparing for Christmas at Christmas Cards All Year Round

Afternoon to you! Hope its a good one! This is my third and final post for the day - over at Christmas cards All year Round christmascardsallyearround there's a new challenge starting called Preparing for Christmas. I decided to make a card based on cooking preparations:



This card is made using two stamps from LOTV - the cake decorating and the recipe stamp. The image was coloured with promarkers. I then used a spellbinders die to cut out the image and added a charm too. The sentiment is from Britannia dies. The flowers are WOC and papers from stash!

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges

  2. Gorgeous card Rachel, love the image and fab colours and details. You've done the cake and I've done the turkey, we're sorted then.

    I thought I had managed to schedule my post for 9 this morning but it didn't happen, so I've obviously not mastered that technique yet, hugs Kate x

  8. I love this card Rachel, reminds me of my Mum, every Christmas she used to make 7 Christmas cakes and decorate them. Now she has bad atheritis in her spine, so can't stand for long. I must say most inconvenient, shop ones are just not the same.
