A few more Christmas Cards

Think I am thru designing and just need to settle on one to do several cards ...

This one was fun to do ... after cutting out the Tim Holtz tree trunks thinlette die I got out one of his stencils that reminded me of snow falling and did some embossing paste with it and dusted "Distressed Rock Candy" glitter and gently pressed it into the paste ... let that dry and drug my "Faded Jeans" distress ink onto my falling snow embossing folder then embossed a white cardstock for the background ... when all was dry I mounted them onto a silver cardstock card

Now it's time to start Christmas cards

These are a few I have done so far ... simple and fun ...

More Christmas Cards

Ok I did some Graphic 45 paper and images form this years collection ... these are quick and easy

Starting Christmas Cards

it's been very difficult for me to get started on my cards this year but here are a few and maybe I now that I have started I can keep it going .....

Today's project ...

Poinsettias, my flower for Christmas, I wanted to do something in white in stead of red ... 

Tim Holtz inspired Christmas tag

again for an online swap ..... using stains on wet tag, then drying it and then splatting with water drops and letting that sit and then blotting to pick up some of the color ... then using Picket Fence stain on a stamp to stamp on tag and last but not least wink-a-stella brushes to give it some bling ... at the end I stamped in black Tim's Noel stamp and blinged it with Stickles and added Tim's Christmas charm a blinged snowflake and some jingle bells at the top ...
