Feathered and/or Furry Christmas :-)

Hi again :-) I am back with another post ,, this is a reminder that you still have a week to join us on the ABC Christmas Challenge :-) ,, my Christmas Card box is filling up nicely !! :-)

We are sponsored by Lili of the Valley and Bugaboo Stamps so please see the challenge blog for more details :-)



I used this very cute Partridge Tree image from Bugaboo. stamped on watercolour paper and coloured with my new Distress Markers and distress inks. I only have 6 markers but they are gorgeous and now NEED the whole set !! :-) The papers are from a Memory Box Yuletide pack and I inked all the edges with Vintage Photo. The flowers are made using Nellie Snellen Stamp and Emboss sets and a Martha Stewart frond leaf punch. I finished with some ribbon, glossy accents on the pears and Robins Nest Dew Drops in the centre of the flowers, the sentiment came with the stamp.



This is my first time making a card for the mid way reminder and Samantha hung these in the DT blog for me, ,,,, hehe Open-mouthed smile

Thank you so much for visiting my blog and letting me know. I had checked the challenge this morning (as I always do) to see what the next weeks theme was, and never thought about checking back for the winners post!! lol.

Love your christmas card, I havent managed to make one yet, so I am well impressed you have started!. It had a wonderful folksy feel to it, gorgeous colours, flowers and design and the glossy pears look brilliant.
