As You Like It - Favourite Christmas Embellishment : This is a difficult one as I love to add a Poinsettia flower die but I also love a pretty snowflake die.

Theo Penguin - Polkadoodles

Good Evening Everyone, 
I have a week off work and I haven't started any of the jobs I intended to do while I had the time. I have got another Christmas card to add to my little pile.
This is the adorable Theo Penguin - Christmas Tree Fun from Polkadoodles.

I've coloured him with promarkers and copics, and fussy cut him out before adding him to the background with 3D foam pads. The background paper is from Crafters Companion and I've used a Dees Distinctively large stacker tree die, again using 3D foam pads to create some dimension. The sentiment stamp is from Lili of the Valley.

Xmas Kitty - Penny Black

Hello Everyone, 
I'm cracking on with my Christmas cards now, only 3 weeks to go until my first Christmas fair! I turned to my trusty Penny Black stamps for todays card. They are so easy to colour so don't take too long!
This is 'Xmas Kitty'.

I've coloured him with copics and promarkers. The background papers are from my box of scraps. I think the green paper might be from a First Edition pad, and I've no idea where the gold dotty paper is from! At least it is more scraps used from a very big box of them! There wasn't much of either paper but waste not, want not!

I've used a Polkadoodles poinsettia die and a sentiment tag stamp from Lili of the Valley. 

I'd like to enter the following challenges:-

Snippets Playground - Use snippets

Crafty Catz - Anything Goes

As You Like It - Favourite Fabric Embellishment - Mine has to be a ribbon bow. It's the easiest way to add texture and there are so many colours available, making it easy to match to your project.

Thanks for your visit. 
Have a lovely week

Ho Ho Ho - Lili of the Valley DT

Hello Everyone, 

I have made a start on my Christmas cards....finally. I have to get cracking on them as I have 3 fairs booked in next month and no stock!

This is a gorgeous, cute Santa from Lili of the Valley called 'Ho Ho Ho'.

I've coloured him with copics and promarkers. I have no idea where the background papers are from as they were in my box of scraps. I've used a die namics picket fence die and a Polkadoodles Poinsettia holly die set. The sentiment stamp is from Uniko.

I'd like to enter the following challenges:-

As You Like It - Favourite Fabric Embellishment : 

My favourite fabric embellishment has to be a double satin bow. I tend to use relatively cheap ribbon as I find it ties better and there's so many colours available. There's always a colour to match a project and I have a box full of ribbon!
