Christmas Cards

 Hello All.

I made a start on some Christmas cards this week. 

I used some Elusive Images stamps for these two. These are old stamp sets that are no longer available unfortunately.

I used Distress Inks to make the backgrounds and to colour the images.

Every year my church ask me to come up with a design for the Christmas card they distribute locally with the Christmas services printed inside.

Here's the angel design I painted for this year's card.

Christmas Cards

 Here's another quick post with a few Christmas cards I've made this year.

All I have to do now is write and post them 😅

Madonna and Child Christmas Cards

 Hi Everyone.

I recently had a sort out, and found some beautiful stamped images that my blog friend Lynne/Stampingandbeyond sent me a few years ago. The lovely Madonna and child image is by Oxford Impressions.

I decided to use the images for some more Christmas cards. I simply paired them up with some of my monoprints, and added some gold lace.

AEDM Day 11

 Hello All.

I'm not sure if it was a side effect from my jab, but I woke up feeling nauseous today.

I felt a little better this afternoon, and managed to make some more Christmas cards. I'd better think about sending my overseas ones off soon, as time is marching on.

I made 8 cards today, 4 of each colourway. It brings my total to 51 so far, only about 20 left to make. Fortunately, not all of them are posted!

Star Ornaments Cards

 Hello All.

A few days ago, Birgit Koopsen did an online tutorial for Michaels the US craft store, using a Gelli Plate to decorate masking tape, then using it to create some ornament Christmas cards. Here's a link to the YouTube video if you're interested.

I finally put the finishing touches to my cards today, after my walk, and here they are.

The idea is that the recipient can take the ornament off the card to use as a tree decoration. I added some extra sparkle with some Patina Stickles glitter glue.

I'm linking these cards to Leah's Art Every Day Month challenge Day 9.
