Christmas Cards

I'm pretty sure everyone will have recieved these cards by now so I can go ahead and share...

 

I fell in love with MFT's bird stamp set which features in all of this years Christmas cards.

I've used my polychromos coloured pencils to add some colour to the images.

I've nestled some of the birds on thread nests, some on blue 'greenery' stamped directly on the card blank and some on greenery which has been fussy cut and coloured.

 

 

And yes, I did say fussy cut.  This stamp set does have a matching die set but I couldn't find it anywhere in the country - or the continent actually, as I checked a few of the European stores too!

 

 

This chap has an ink blended background made with Skull and Cross Buns' Floral Pattern stencil and copious amounts of splatter.

 

These two have multicoloured stamping from a Skull and Cross Buns set.

 

I trimmed the Merry Christmas apart and used it horizontally rather than stacked.  Don't worry, it doesn't hurt the stamp and can be stacked back together next time I use it.

  

And finally a football themed card...

Again, this stencilled bckground comes courtesy of my Skull and Cross Buns stencil stash.  This one is called Gingham Stripe.

Thanks for looking!
