Oh Christmas Tree

I have been really good this year and have kept my crafty purchases to a minimum and buying only essentials like cardstock and adhesive. I have had so much enjoyment revisiting paper pads and stamps that  were long forgotten. This sweet Christmas card is one of the prducts of these findings and is my DT card for our latest challenge at


The theme this time is Anything Cute and Christmass with the option of 
"Oh Christmas Tree"

 

Here is what I made using a totally adorable grey rubber LOTV stamp "Oh Christmas Tree" available in digi form now though, you will be pleased to hear. They were coloured with a mixture of Promarkers and Spectrum Noir pens. The paper is from a Maja Designs pad that I have vowed to actually use, rather than just look at, from now on!! Oh and you know what I said in the opening paragraph...I actually lied because the gorgeous tag die is new...but it was essential!! Lots of stickles were used to add a bit of sparkle.

Hope that you will join us.

Wishing you a lovely week ahead whatever you are up to. Stay safe xx

Sorry not been around had an operation on my hand 8 weeks ago so its been extremely slow crafting typing an£ doing most things. Hoping to get the splint removed in a couple of weeks . Hope you are well sending love anD hugs Carole x

Such a gorgeous image and card. Well done you on trying to use up your older stuff, I've done exactly the same and as you say, it's great going back and having a play with stamps that you'd forgotten you'd got. Keep up the good work and I love your card x

Very pretty Sarah, I agree on re-visiting old stash and usually you see them in a totally different light.

You've been so good not to be tempted by all the crafty goodies that are advertised Sarah, I started off this year with a similar resolve but alas I succumbed :(
This is a lovely festive card with your pretty tag being the focal point.

Super card Sarah, nice to see you are only buying those essential items! Still your tag die cut looks fab as does the much stared at DP! I have that stamp too. no surprize there,but in digi format
I went to the wholesale stationers yesterday as I was so low on Copic friendly card, I'd almost used up all my scraps. Must admit I didn't hold back, just in case it's another 3 years before I get there again!! :)
