A Christmas Trio

I finally got all my Christmas cards finished this week and sent off although I think I still missed the postal deadline but hopefully they will still arrive in time! Still need to get some presents though so that is a job for this week on my way home from Swedish lessons.

Here are three cards that I made together using a Lili of the Valley stamp and paper piecing. I coloured the greenery with promarkers and added some sparkle with stickles and shine with glossy accents. I always have these wonderful ideas then realise as soon as I start that I hate fussy cutting - when will I ever learn?!




I would like to enter these cards into the following challenges:
Crafty Sentiments - Christmas
A creative Romance - Sparkle at Christmas
A Little Bit Crafty - Christmas Cheer
Crafting Musketeers - Layer it up
Craft Mojo - Christmas
My Mum's Craft Shop - Winter/Christmas
Penny Black and more - Traditional Christmas Colours

    A gorgeous trio of cards Emma. It was worth the fussy cutting as the Baubles stand out so well and the little touch off sparkle finishes them off beautifully.
    Thank you for sharing your cards with us at Penny Black and More this month. Happy Christmas and we hope you will join us in January for our next challenge.
