Hmmm!

 Morning Blogland,

I almost went with 'urrgh' for a title but thought, in the end, that might be a bit tooo cheeky, so Hmmmm it is. This is because I'm posting up another Christmas card - did I mention that I'm the one in a million who isn't that into Christmas? I might have done! Too many reasons to list why I'm not keen, and it's not on religious grounds, it's just personal experience.

Anyways, challenges are starting Christmas / Winter themes so, as I like joining in with challenges, it would appear I'm going to make a couple of Christmas cards. I might even make enough that a couple of people get a handmade card this time.

This is my second Christmas card this year:

I used:

Dies:

Memory Box - Deer Trio

My Favorite Things - Inside and Out Stitched Circle

Picket Fence - Merry Christmas Word Topper Die

Un-branded stitched rectangle

Anything else:

Mica Spray

Linen card

What I did:

Die cut out rectangle from linen card, then cut the circle from the rectangle.

Sprayed the mica spray on the card blank.

Die cut the deer out and attached to the back of the rectangle.

Added 3d foam everywhere on the back of the rectangle and deer and fixed to the card blank.

Die-cut the topper x3, stacked them and attached to the front of the card.

et voila, job done!

It's a shame the shimmer on the Mica Spray doesn't show up - it is actually very nice in real life and the linen card gives a lovely texture to the panel.

I fully expect to be back on Copics and 'ordinary' cards as soon as possible, but I can see I will probably end up making a couple more Christmas cards - maybe just a bit closer to Christmas!

Also no waffle today, as not really been an interesting week - just plodding along here doing ordinary everyday stuff.

Signing off now,

Sarah
