Today I have my Christmas Card Club make for tomorrow - I have another make tomorrow so I thought I had better squeeze this one in tonight. The theme was anything goes - so I took the chance to play with distress oxides and a newish to me stamp from woodware.
As you can see I made three cards .....
the backgrounds all started with wilted violet, broken china and spiced marmalade distress oxides. Some got a bit of fossilised amber added for good measure. The snow was actually stamped separately and cut and pasted on. I then added the stamps of snowflakes and some glitter too.
I did enjoy doing these. I hope you like the results of my playtime!!!
Big hugs and great wishes for a beautiful day!

Love the backgrounds to your cards Rachel. You've had a busy few days. Sorry I missed your birthday but I was in Liverpool for a few days with no internet access. Hugs Christine x
ReplyDeleteHi Rachel-these are fabulous and love the colours. Sounds like you have been having a very busy time and you have kept up blogging better than I have managed of late-lol-so sorry for not having been around much but things are starting to settle down for me now so hopefully now I will manage to visit more often!

First may I send belated Birthday Wishes. I'm afraid I'm still catching up with my comments since my extended break, It sounds like a very busy time for you and a little bitter sweet too.
ReplyDeleteA lovely set of cards Rachel. I have that Woodware stamp and it's never been used. I like the way you've cut it out in white and may have to copy your idea for some fun Christmas cards this year. It's a great way to have fun with oxide backgrounds too. Thanks for the inspiration. Barbxx
