Simplicity!!
I have decided to take the simple approach to some of my Christmas cards that way i can send more out........lol.
Here's one i made last night and i have a few ideas along the same theme ready to put to practice later. I do like the simplicity of the card myself but the picture really doesn't do anything for it!!
You can't see by the picture but the background is clear glitter sticky paper. The tree is a shiny white paper with clear stickles over parts and mounted on gold mirri board. When the light hits it at different angles (thats not hard with the Christmas tree lights flashing frantically!!) it's really sparkly and looks very Chrismassy!!

The same but different!!

My little girl really liked the HM card i made for the Let It Snow challenge and asked if i could make one for her Nana. I offered to use a different stamp and showed her all my papers but no!! she still wanted the same. I find it VERY hard to try and make two of a kind so i did manage to alter it slightly so it would still look the same but a bit different.........lol. My dughter and son decided to play spot the difference between the two cards heehee!!

Ribbon scraps
This card won't be everyones cup of tea as i have used black and white for this Christmas card but i quite like it. It's a very simple card and a great way to use up ribbon scraps. The card i have used is a 'skinny' so it's narrower than a DL card.
Not the best photo as the sun is shining through every bit of my conservatory making my pics a bit dark!!
While i'm here i will shar a pic or two of my Christmas tree. Very un-traditional this year......lol.
The tree is 6.5ft slimline cream tree. You can see in this photo that the kids have already been re-arranging some of the decorations leaving a bit of a gap in the middle on the top!! Never mind i'll just have to buy more to totally fill it......lol
You can see all the colours i have gone for better in this photo!!
This flower is a gorgeous turquoise colour and is made of feathers.
Also had to show you this flower. Again i just LOVE the colours - a rich deep purple with turquoise and deep blue.
Right i'm off to re-arrange my trimmings (again!!)............lol.
Thanks for looking. x

Stampavie Group Challenge 2
Here's the card i made.............
On the sketch the ribbon was along the bottom and the sentiment down the side but i wouldn't beable to fit it that way on this card so i swapped them around.
The papers are BG Boxer. Used my crop-o-dile to make the wholes and set the eyelets. Ribbong and metal sentiment from stash. Image was coloured with distress inks (again......lol).
Thanks for looking. x
