Sentiment focus at Christmas Card Club

Hello there! How are you? We had a great time at Clarity Cumbria yesterday - thank very much to jo rice .. you are one very beautiful person Jo! We made some beauties that I will show you later in the week. Today its Christmas Card Club and the theme this time was Sentiment Focus - I decided to use the new Tim Holtz sentiments - I bought the set with all of the sentiments on - these are smaller than the other ones. I used them to make three cards.


I teamed all three up with distress background overstamped using a Crafty Individuals stamp and die cuts too. Here's some close ups.




I am looking forward to seeing what the other ladies have come up with!

Have a great Sunday and enjoy whatever you do. We are off to church this morning - the girls are both singing in the choir and doing readings. Then we're going to a fundraiser at the hospice. I hope that goes well.

Do take care!

Big hugs

  21. Love the trio of colors you've used with this TH sentiment set. Adding the swag of pretty leaves created a pretty framework to show off the sentiment, as well as draw the eyes in to appreciate the wonderful sponging & blending of the colors. TFS & Hugs
