First Christmas Card 2009...

Oh my goodness can you believe it? I'm not sure I can!!

The three crowns I've used are from a company called Stamptivity, who do some really amazing stamp designs. They also have their own group at http://www.papercraftplanet.com/ and just this week have started a weekly challenge. The theme this week is glitter which led to my crowns mounted on gold and embellished with gems.

My card is also for the 'open themed' challenge at http://wednesdaystamper.wordpress.com/.

Materials used:
  • Stamptivity stamp set
  • gold mirri card
  • cream hammer card
  • gold sentiment and corner peel offs
  • gems from stash

Fab card Ann, but I think a christmas card for next year is taking things just a little too far! LOL!

Stunning card Ann, Perhaps we should all follow your example and try to make a couple of Christmas cards a month throughout the year, as if lol

Well done for starting early. Someones going to be very happy when they receive this card.
I usually use Stazon Stone Grey to stamp my images when colouring with pro markers. I use 'record cards' (6"x4") which I bought from Staples - the sort use for filing I think - the pro markers cover quite well and don't bleed.They aren't a heavy card so are quite good if you want to cut the image out. I don't have a Staples near so I going to get some more from Silly Monkeys.Hope this helps.
