watercoloured santa
I hope you all had an amazing and cheery holiday! I know I sure did! Exciting news: I am posting from my new laptop for the first time! Yes Santa was good to me :)
So here is one of my last Christmas cards. It was super simple to put together after I finished colouring the image. I used my inkpads and a damp brush to do this technique. The edges were distressed using my tea dye distress ink and my Tim Holtz edge distresser.

decorated tree version 2

decorated vintage tree
Here is the new and improved version of the card I posted a few minutes ago (scroll down to see it or click this link)

I really love what the old chain garland on the tree adds to the card. I like to include something "exciting" on every card.
Check back soon for the "decorated tree version 2" of this card. Same layout, new colour scheme!
As you can see I added the flower, used a bigger tree stamp and added the chain decoration. Other than that the colours and layout are similar.

oh christmas tree
We finally got our tree up this morning! It looks awesome! I haven't even finished my shopping yet and the card situation: about half have been mailed. I still need to make the ones for my friends and coaches.
This is one of my favourite cards I have made so far this christmas. I like it mostly because of the flower/sprocket gear/charm combination. Three of my very favourite things all together! I stamped the tree first using a detail black pigment. Next I stamped the tree again on some scrap paper, cut out the rough shape and used it as a mask. I then stamped the french script on top.

crackle christmas
So instead of keeping up with my blog I have been very busy making Christmas cards. Hopefully I will get to share all of them eventually (or atleast my favourite ones)
I recently bought a new Tim Holtz stamp set! It is called Mini Muse and has all sorts of awesome vintage images. On this card I used the bingo stamp and the ticket stamp. Love them both!

the first Christmas card!
Happy December! So far this winter it has been pretty tame weather but yesterday the real Canadian snow hit. We had a blizzard! We got about 20 cm of snow but the crazy winds have made drifts everywhere! Some are up to 5 feet deep at my place! I cannot wait to go sledding!
With the first big snow comes the first Christmas card! I used some old Cosmo Cricket paper for the main part.
