Oh Christmas Tree

I know another christmas card in July but it's one less to make now. This image and backing paper is from the Crafters Companion Quick Cards for Christmas CD Rom. Not traditional christams colours but I think it works. I have added stickles glitter glue and a ribbon with gems to finish the design off.

Hi Rachel, Thanks so much for my Award, I've been so busy with work that I haven't had a chance to reply or pass it on yet, but I will I promise. As soon as I get a chance. I've a whole week a two days worth of crafting and scrapping to catch up on.

Your cards are looking good! I've got the Everyday CD and don't remember seing the Boots backing paper. Old Age?? I'll have to have another look.

Mixed media clock

Then used various stencils and embossing paste. I dried this and then added a coat of black gesso and left it to dry over night. This morning I added some colour onto it using Pebeo Dyna paints. I added die cut numbers cut out of silver mirror card. However I wasn't happy with it as it was too dark for what I wanted it for and thought the silver numbers didn't go with it. So I sat back and looked at it and decided I wanted it lighter. Well no loss as out came my heavy white gesso and I gave it a good coating. Before adding the white gesso I sanded the numbers slightly so that the paint could adhere better and this also gave extra texture.
