And so it begins .... Christmas has arrived in the workshop this week. I have begun to start thinking of the festive season, and as the weather here in Margate has taken somewhat of a nosedive, it has not been too difficult to imagine!
So I thought for today I would show you my creativity from yesterday ....
The paper is Very Merry from October Afternoon and I just can't get enough! I love that the quality of the paper is almost like a thin card, and the designs available are just so beautiful! This whole pile of cards used just one 12x12 sheet; that's sixteen cards from one sheet.
For embellishments I used Very Merry stickers from the range, which I made into little tags and banners. For the few that didn't have text on, I stamped Happy Christmas from a Dovecraft mini stamp set using bright red chalk ink.
All in all, a limited amount of materials has yielded a fair amount of cards, and cards that I am really happy with. Reasonably priced for sale, yet with a really high quality finish.
All in a days work, as they say!
wow I can't believe how many you managed to do in one day! they look lovely =] nice work
