Three Times Trees

Suddenly, it's Christmas! And I'm short of cards. So I made three using the same Paper Smooches stamp and some scraps of patterned paper.

Snowflake

 

Here's a snowflake, cut on my Silhouette, using an SVG I designed several years ago. I embossed it using Frantage for the speckled/ distressed effect. I layered it onto scraps of patterned text paper and patterned vellum and added a gem and a stamped sentiment.

Cat with a Balloon

 Here's quite a minimalist birthday card with a cat (Stampin Up) and a balloon (Avery Elle), some paper piecing and a restrained black, white and yellow palette.

Antlers

 Decided to combine my need for Christmas cards with a couple of challenges. The reindeer is a Flora and Fauna stamp and the wobbly circle and snowflake were just leftovers I had hanging around.

Stay Warm

 

A little while ago I had a great time splattering diluted white acrylic paint at coloured card, and I'm using some here. I can't really decide whether the splatters are stars or snow ...maybe both? The cocoa-drinking polar bear and sentiment are MFT stamps.

Lion Card

 

This card arrived a little early for the baby boy's birthday, and I was told it was the first ever birthday card he received, which was sweet. It's very simple, using old stamps from different sets and slightly dimensional number and hearts.
