So a quick post from me today with another Christmas card. I'm quite pleased that I've managed to get quite a few made this year so far - it's obviously been a good incentive having this blog and doing challenges as it's made me get a bit more organised with them!
I used one of my rubber stamps of Humphrey from Crafters Companion that I bought last year. I've coloured him with copics and promarkers, with some added stickles of course!
And like any typical crafter, I can't bear to throw small pieces of nice crafting papers away! So I decided to use some of the 'offcuts' of my LOTV 'KraftyChristmas' papers and made the patchwork effect background with some added ribbon from stash. I think it works ok - and lets me use the saved bits lol!
The poinsettia was made with a Marianne die.
So quite a simple card, but I was quite pleased with the effect.
I'll be back on Friday with lots of creations - as long as I've not fallen into the wallpaper paste!
Back soon, Kim x
