Well its a full fortnight since I posted anything - that should give you an insight into my level of busy just now...lol! I thought being furloughed would make life simpler....but it seems not!!! Nevermind...it won't be forever!
Its Christmas card club again and the theme this time is sentiment as focus - no images - well I have sort of fulfilled the brief using some Chocolate Baroque stamps to make a total of 4 cards.
My first two were using the set gold, frankincense and myrrh. I also used the distress oxides speckled egg and broken china to make the background and some speckled egg embossing glaze too. Its a bit of an unusual christmas card but i quite like it!
My second two cards used the holly stampset from chocolate baroque again. I built up the background using gel press prints and the main holly image before then using the leaves to create the garland.
My mum has really rocked the theme - this card used a stamp from Chloe and then dies from Crealies for the flower and sue wilson for the foliage.
The other two used Sheena Douglass stamps on oxide backgrounds.
I hope you have a great Sunday - I have yet another Tracy Evans class this morning - I really loved the gel press one last time and hope this one is just as good!
Big hugs

I love both your's and your Mum's cards. I hope you're enjoying your Tracy Evans Course. What would we do without the internet at the moment, I do miss going to retreats and classes and can't wait for them to start again once it's safe to do so.
