Craftmad March Christmas Card Sketch


This is the March Christmas sketch for Craftmad.  See what everyone came up with here: -

These are my creations which I had a lot of fun with.  I decided that I would put some of my sticker collection in to use - all purchased from the Sticker Store. Next choice was the colour, I found this lovely cheery green and the lavender worked really well with it.  So I ran the bottom layer of green through one of my snowflake embossing folders.  Created the lavender banner with border stickers then attached a darker green card stock to the glitter bauble stickers and hand cut around them.  Found this perfect green and purple ribbon in my stash to attach to the baubles.


This wonderful patterned paper I have had for a while it has a pearlised shine to it.  I cut one of the blue stripes to create the banner across the centre and added the fun sticker border to the centre of it.  The gold Christmas tree sticker I have attached to red acetate.  I attached red card stock to the base of the tree so that I had somewhere to hide the foam squares that attached the tree to the card.



I found these red and gold candles in my collection, so I stuck with those colours.  I ran the gold background paper and the red label through one of my embossing folders.  I used to be so good and knew the names of all these folders….not anymore.  Finished with the Christmas tree sticker.


Another three Christmas cards brings my total to 10.  :-)

Have a wonderful Tuesday.  Gardening, coffee with friend, Bowen treatment and making a small quilt are on the agenda for me today.  The weather is so beautiful clear and a little cool at the moment….the won't last long.
