Stencils at Christmas Card Club

 Hello lovelies! How are you all? Its stencils at Christmas card club this fortnight - it was my choice - I have made 4 cards all basically the same. 


I know this isn't a Christmas stamp as such but I really think it makes a good Christmas card. I made a background using distress oxides and then used Tim Holtz stencils over the background again with the distress oxides. 


you can see it more clearly in this picture. I also added the stamped image from Aall and Create and then cut the bird and added him too. 

My mums cards are below:

For this one she used a stencil from Clarity and a Marianne die.


This one is an Imagination Crafts stencil and  Marianne holly die and spell binders poinsettia die.

Looking forward to seeing what my teamies have made!

Big hugs

Rachel xx
