Christmas flowers at CCC

Hello there - well I am behind schedule today - apologies - made the card and forgot to post it! What am I like? I guess the only answer is busy! Anyway - the theme at CCC this fortnight is Christmas flowers - my make is done using stamps and dies from sheena....


For my card I made a background using weathered wood and hickory smoke distress oxides. I then stamped the corners in grey versafine clair and added a few stars. Then I stamped the words and die cut the flowers from a sheet of card I had coloured using festive berries, barn door and weathered wood distress oxides.  Finally I put the whole thing together.

My mum has been busy using stamps from paperartsy... she has made two lovely cards...



I love them!

We have had a good day today - its my mums birthday tomorrow so we went out for lunch - then I spent the afternoon practicing for a play that I am performing in two weeks time... lastly I have been with Penny helping her practice her duet with her friend for the same show...phew!!!! Time to relax now!

Big hugs!

Rachel xx

    I popped in earlier today and was surprised that your post wasn't up, after reading about your hectic day I can see why! :o) You certainly are a busy lady.
    A fabulous card using that lovely stamp, the inky background sets off the red poinsettias beautifully. A gorgeous pair of cards from mum too, wish her a happy birthday from me for tomorrow x
