Hi Everyone thanks for stopping by.

Well as crazy as it sounds it is time to start getting all those creative ideas together to make all your christmas cards......well if you haven't started you need to get things moving now! There is only four weeks to go......

Today I am sharing with you a card that is really simple to put together. Once the image is coloured there isn't too much left to do. Just a bit of colour layering.

I have used one of my favourite stamps by Wild Rose called Teddy behind present.

the paper layers are cut out using Lawn Fawn Dies:

Stitched Circle stackables

Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables

large  Stitched Rectangle Stackables

Birthday Wishes.....

Hello everyone! I would like to share  a card I made recently for a friend. I used a Memory Box Stencil- "Flower Power" and "Fresh Foliage" Die also from Memory Box.
The greeting is a Penny Black Die-"Splendid Wishes". Take a look at Bizzy Becs Online Store for these goodies and many other supplies.
I inked the stencil with Distress Inks- Dried Marigold, Ripe Persimmon and Mowed Lawn. I am trying hard to master the art of blending the inks, I have always found this hard to do!

Have a wonderful day and happy crafting!
