More catch up.

This'll take you back a couple of months - some of the Christmas cards I made LOL:



I actually didn't make a huge amount of Christmas cards cos as usual I left it late, but I made a batch of 11 of these one evening. I used a combination of Distress Inks in Tumbled Glass and Faded Jeans, leaving a paler patch towards the centre. Then used my fave water splash technique to lift some of the ink back up. Next I borrowed an idea from Jenny Meyes (the lovely lady from Hobby Art) which is basically sprinkling a little white embossing powder across the card & heating from below so as not to blow it off as it's not stuck to anything before it melts



The effect it to leave little speckles across the card which also have some texture. I also chucked on glitter embossing powder for a bit of bling. I was going for a snow storm type of feel...The sentiment is a HOTP stamp. TBH, I was only intending to have it in silver, but I went with Cosmic Shimmer mica powder on versamark & it didn't show up very well, so I ended up overstamping in Faded Jeans as well.

Was rather chuffed with them, even if my wrist ached for a good day after from applying all that ink LOL

These are a couple of cards I made in January using what has become my favourite Kanban kit - Chelsea. Or if you didn't see it till it was aired on C&C, Carte Postale!

The first was a birthday card for one of my forum pals on CraftTelly



And this double easel was for another member of the forum who sadly isn't feeling so good at the moment:



Both cards have a little added ribbon-age & bling-age, plus TH tissue tape to cover the base of the card (one of the roles in the Sketchbook pack)

I should apologise for the quality of the pics as these were taken on my phone which doesn't have the best camera, but as mentioned below, hubby managed to 'hide' the digital camera in a coat pocket on New Years Eve.
