Last coffee pot this year!

Good morning all! I hope you are well! I am hoping for a lie in this morning as it was the village ladies Christmas do last night. I hope all went well and that I'm not feeling hungover this morning!!!

I have the cards I made from the final coffeepot of the year to share with you today! It was at Wendy's house this week. Our usual host Emma was off with her school on a pantomime trip so Wendy kindly offered to host and luckily for me Diana was in charge. So all I had to do was to relax and enjoy the crafting! Here's what we made:


We used an old Glenda Waterworth stamp from before Chocolate baroque - I think its beautiful!


On this first one I stamped in versa mark and heat embossed with gold sparkle powder. I then used distress ink to paint the leaves and berried and mounted on green card. Finally I used red berries to colour the actual card.


This one was stamped in black archival and then painted with distress. I stamped the image a second time and fussy cut this and added that with foam pads once painted. The background used a holly stamp to create a border. 

I hope you have a really great Saturday - not sure yet what me and the girls are up to! 

Big Hugs

  8. I think it's a beautiful image too! And in your hands, spectacular. I think #3 would be my fav (but it was a hard choice) just because I like the painted look of the bright holly. Glad you had a good evening with the ladies, and no ill after effects. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and best wishes that 2016 will be all that you wish it to be. TFS & Hugs.
