christmas card Club - cute

Good morning all! Well believe it or not time has rolled around to Christmas Card Club again and the theme for this fortnight was cute. Well I'm not much into cute these days but I thoroughly enjoyed the 30 mins it took me to make these two cards! The stamp is a very old one from LOTV and the stencil is from Clarity. The sentiment stamp is from Chocolate Baroque.


I used evergreen bough with the stencil and coloured the image in distress pens - I used wilted violet, broken china, tea dye and ground expresso.


I'm rather pleased with these little cuties!


Thanks to Sylvie for coming up with the topic!

I had a good day yesterday - in the morning we had a fundraiser for the Drama group and managed to raise around £180. I also had a table selling my cards and took about £40 which is brilliant! I was well chuffed! In the afternoon we went to see my mum and dad. Dad was quite smiley which was lovely to see. My uncle (mums brother) was also visiting us from Lincolnshire and he had brought his son (my cousin) and his family up with him. They're currently over from Austin, Texas. It was lovely to see David again - I hadn't seen him for 17 years so it was great to catch up. We went out to Happy Mount Park in Morecambe in the afternoon - the children all had lots of fun.



Lots of fun!!!

Hope you have a great Sunday - we're hoping to have a relaxed day!!!

Big Huggles!

Rachel xx

    Hi Rachel, two lovely cards, I'm like you I don't do cute these days as I've no "cute" people to send them to, but I managed.
    Lovely photos, good to see the children enjoying themselves, Kate x

    Love how you've combined this sponged stencil pattern with the cute little figures. Wonderful coloring of the images with the DI-s too. Love the design, love the colors. Also enjoyed seeing the pics of your trip to the park, and envy those Texans for being able to visit the UK. Glad to hear your Dad is doing well also. TFS & Hugs
