Hi Everybody,I know it's not Christmas but this image is one that has been sitting on my desk and so I thought I would add a little water colour to her and make her into a card.
I have used some of the card stack that I bought from the £££shop as a layer on both of the base cards
The background to my image is created with a light water colour wash and then the stars added with a stencil and embossing paste
The one on the left is slightly different colours for bear, mouse and background but the stars are done the same way.
On both of the card bases I rounded two opposite corners.
Both panels are cut with a stitched border die from the Stitched and Pierced Collection from Craft Stash and there are lots of shapes for you to choose from
More tomorrow ...
Hugs xx
In my world it is Christmas every day. Lovely cards, love the he look of the opposite rounding corners.

Super card and the perfect cheerful card to brighten up this gloomy day in the south-east.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Christina :) What a precious way to keep Christmas in our hearts all year round! These two cards are just adorable!! Love, Love, Love!! Dorothy, I know what you mean about Pippa. Every time I go in the next room, my Isabelle lets me know I'm not supposed to be in there. Can't imagine a world without my fur babies! Thanks so much for sharing Christina. Enjoy a Beautiful Day. Big Hugs.
ReplyDelete" lovely cards Christina- I have resolved to make a Xmas card for each person I make a birthday card for- save being in a panic at Xmas! So far- I'm about 10 Xmas cards behind!LOL xx
ReplyDeletePretty!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are adorable!
ReplyDeleteAw, Christina,
DeleteYou're forgiven as these are so cute. I love them! I have to say you're not the first as one of the other bloggers I follow has been posting Christmas cards!! The speed this year is going it'll soon be here anyway so perhaps we should all make our cards now to get on top of it all lol.

I love both cards..soooo cute! Anyone who's a crafter knows that Christmas is anytime of year. :) Every year I tell my family that I'm going to start on my Christmas cards in March and every year I'm frantically trying to make them in Nov. and Dec. lol One of these days, though...
ReplyDeleteFor those who are enjoying cool weather I wish you could share it with me. I live in Tallahassee, Florida, and would love some really chilly weather right now.
Thanks, Christina, for the inspiration and (maybe) nudge to get me started on my cards.
Love these cards and cute images. I belong to a card group that meet almost every Friday morning except in the winter months. We make 3 cards and 1 is always a Christmas card.
ReplyDeleteWell, you are one step ahead for Xmas. Probably a good idea to make a few every month then it's not so frantic nearer the time. Lovely cards.X
ReplyDeleteLovely cards Christina. Too many birthdays this month to start my C cards yet.
ReplyDeleteI got my beautiful card in the mail today Christina!!! It's even better in real life!!! Hoot Hoot!!
