Its Christmas card club today and the theme is 'Let it snow'.. when I got home last night the last thing I felt like doing was making a card - so my attempt is a little low on inspiration - but it is done!!!
Very CAS - I used a stamp from Crafty individuals and having masked off an area I stamped in versa mark then used wow powders and heatset. I then used salty ocean distress ink to colour the kraft card.
I made two to add to my growing collection of christmas cards!
Now here's a few holiday pictures:
Lucy and Penny loved to go on the funfair after dinner each evening - the big wheel was the highlight - it was in the hotel complex and was part of the all inclusive package!
They really enjoyed the pool too - splashing around on their lilos - it was the best pool I've ever seen - amazing - loved it myself!
This is inside the hotel on the 10th floor - it was called the Royal wings and this is looking down on one of the wing sections!
This was the view from our balcony down to the sea - the hotel had its own section of beach.
And here' my munchkins enjoying the sea at the hotel beach. Penny said the water was too salty so we didn't spend too long there! Funny!!!
I have lots more pictures to bore you with over the next few posts! I hope you can bear with!!! I also hope to be back to normal ASAP - that means visiting! LOL!!! Looking forward to seeing what you've been up to!
Big hugs

My hat's off to you, coming home and having to make a card immediately...and this one is so CAS & pretty. I like the unusual color combo, but it had a 'cold feeling' to it that works wonderfully well. It's also a very modern feeling to the card with these colors. I think you did a fab card, and it certainly doesn't look last minute at all to me. Just very creative and very pretty. Wish I could design like this! TFS the fun vacation pictures. I'm so happy ya'll had time away, had fun, and got back home safely once more. Happy Sunday.
ReplyDeletethe green is perfect with the Kraft card Rachel and the white embossed stamping really pops.....glad you had such a fun time on holiday! x

ReplyDeleteRachel, You and the girls so deserved this holiday and how lovely to see those wide smiles on their faces. I am sure they bring joy to you every single minute, of every single day.
