I'm back!!!!

Hello lovelies! Well I'm back - a very relaxing holiday was had by all in germany - and now its time to knuckle down and get on with life!!! First thing I needed to do was catch up with my christmas card club - only a week late - but here it is - use a stencil.


I made a masterboard using paperartsy paints - brayered on - included teresa green, snowflake, tinned peas and granny smith. Then I stencilled on tis with a TH layering stencil - poinsettia using cherry red fresco paint.


I cut the masterboard into 4 pieces - I used the first with a stamped image.



the other three I made into collage cards using some tim ephemera.

I hope you are okay - I have tried to keep up whilst away but sometimes its been tricky! Please forgive me if I haven't been to visit!

Big hugs

Rachel x
