Today the challenge over at the Christmas card club is lots of layers - as usual I have made three cards - I made them at my mums last week so had her crafty goodies to pay with - this is what I came up with:
Mum has a lot of embossing folders and dies so I thought I would use them - plus some garden bird images too.
In this one I used a tattered lace folder and die. I used a spellbinders die to cut the picture. I also used mustard seed and faded jeans distress inks.
Another tattered lace embossing folder, the same die plus a sue wilson die and a spellbinders to cut the image out. I used mustard seed and ripe persimmon distress ink.
Another tattered lace embossing folder and the same die. I cut the image and mat with spellbinders die. The trees are cut with a sue wilson die. I used faded jeans and broken china distress inks.
I would like to enter these into the following challenges:
craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge -241-something-beginning with s - snow on all cards!
I hope you have a great Sunday - we're off to my mums again and will hopefully be going to a hen harrier event later. Then I'll pick Bez up!
Whatever you do have fun!

Hope the birthday was just wonderful & what beautiful daughters you have. I loved each one of these colorful bird images. The dies, backgrounds & layouts on each card - were just awesome.
