Merry Monday #28

As promised here is my second card for today.  If you would like to see my other card then scroll down further.  I chose Merry Monday for my second card which is getting some christmas cards done early in time for christmas.  It would be lovely to be on time for a change.  Below is the sketch. . . .


Here is my interpretation of the above sketch. . . .


I used October Afternoon Christmas collection from last year which I just adore, again Doodlebug twine, Paper Smooches sentiment, and SU cardstock colours.  I also used Frayed Burlap for distressing the edges. That is it for today people.  I will try and get some more done during the week.  It feels very strange to be making cards again after so long. Bye for now and in the meantime . . . .

Freshly Made #48

Well finally I thought I had better get my hand back into card challenges.  I sauntered away from the vintage look and got into the modern funky paper collections to  my detriment lol.  I have become a slave to the new collections you could say.  I thought I would start my card making again with a challenge from Freshly Made.  Below is the sketch we were to follow. . . .


Here is my interpretation of the above sketch. . . .



I used Echo Park Everyday Ecclectic which I fell in love with.  I used an Ali Edwards sentiment, Studio Calico wood veneer stars, Paper Smooches background hexagon stamp and Doodlebug twine.  I will be back shortly with another card I finished.  In the meantime . . . .
