So today its time for a new theme at our lovely Christmas card club - the theme this time was cute - I have gone more for the option of anything goes as I wanted to use another of my Phill Martin stamps kindly supplied by Hunky Dory. I started by making a background using pixie powders and then stamping the image 4 times on my sheet..
The stamp is called poinsettia and is a collage stamp with lots of lovely details. The stamp performed beautifully - even first time.
Next I cut the stamped images out ...
Once I had got this far I chose to add some wintry paper doll images to all but one background and the die cut word celebrate to all.
They look so pretty - and I think very festive!
Thanks again to HunkyDory for supplying the stamp - I really did enjoy using it!
My mum has joined our Christmas card club this fortnight too - she's called Gwen and these are her cards - being a good girl she stuck to the theme!!!
She said she was glad to be able to use an unused stamp - well done mum!
I do hope you have a great day!
Hugs

The detail on that poinsettia stamp is amazing, and looks fabulous with the bold red against the funky powders. Well done to Gwen on sticking to cuteness - great cards - but I'd have had to follow you down a less cute road!
