Blue and White

Another Monday rolls around and a little bit closer to Christmas!!

There's bags of time to make your cards but if you want to get ahead of the game we have a new challenge starting at



the theme is Blue and White.

I made a sweet pair of cards using a Crafters Companion die set to make the penguin and a lovely background stamp from Hunky Dory. I heat embossed the background in white and used mica pearls wash over the top then rubbed it back with a soft cloth so that the embossed detail would show through.



Here is an angled close up so that you can see the sheen.




Thank you for stopping by and I hope the coming week is kind to you xx

Lovely embossing on the background layer for these cute little penguins, two fabulous Christmas cards. I am feeling a little panicky as I haven't made a Christmas card yet, very unusual for me I'm normally well ahead by now. Well done for making a start on those festive makes.

I love you saying "bags of time" to get your Christmas cards done. Somehow, I always have a mad dash in December. Do you know that there are 207 days till Christmas? Before you know, it's here and I'm scrambling around for those last minute cards. I get very distracted in the Fall, here in the US, with Halloween and Thanksgiving. I make a number of cards for these two holidays so Christmas takes a back seat then :-)
Anyway, now that I've rambled enough, let me tell you that I love your cards. The paper is gorgeous and the lil guy is too cute!
Have a wonderful day.
