Ok, so all non crafting people are sat there still waiting for the UK Summer thinking that Christmas is still a long way off but in the card crafting world it's time to make a start on the Christmas cards.
I have made a couple of cards which I will post later but here is one of them. The digital image is by Alice Smith of www.clipart4resale.com This is a lovely site for inexpensive digital images both coloured in or just the outlines. I picked the outline image and coloured it in using promarkers.
The card stock is all from my stash which I have had for a few years now and I used a sizzix embossing folder to get the dots. The snowflakes are from a Marks & Spencer gift card I was given and I have added gems to them. The holly is from a little hand punch and again I have added gems.
The wording was just printed from my computer. I used a scallop edged card for this one:
