Christmas Stencil ...

Have you made all of your Christmas cards?  I always plan to have mine completed early and yet again I haven't!!  So my plan now is to only make Christmas cards ... I'm not sure how long this plan will last!!!

So today's contribution is:

I was inspired by the current challenge at CAS Mix Up card challenge:

I began by creating a water colour wash down one side and across - just a light wash with water colour paint in two shades of blue.  I then took a stencil of Christmas words and using some distress ink I selectively added just some of the words over the top of the wash.  I used an off cut of card and colour washed it with the same water colour paints - I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment and used the rest to die cut some snowflakes.  

I used:

Funky Fossil Designs - Festive Words stencil

UNIKO - Simply Said II

Distress Ink - Tumbled glass

Stay Safe and Keep Creating!

Wet and dreary ...

... at least the weather is!!!

Wet weather at least provides me with a good excuse to stay inside and play ... I did do the housework before I began ..

I've been trying to create some Christmas cards but progress has been very slow as have yet to find a design that I like enough to make more than one of!  This is a possibility:

I used:
M&C Boutique Cutting Die - Stags head
Vintage Photo Distress INk
Funky Fossil Designs Antler's Stencil.

I'm entering the new challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More #366


I'm delighted to say that I received an Addicted to Stamps and More 'Honorable Addict' award for this card:
