Zora is our host this week and she has pick our optional twist if you care to take(just forfun)

CHRISTMAS

We are sponsored this week by 

Colour of Love

I have used a image I previously won but cant seem to find in the store so I have asked heather for a link. lets hope she adds as I am sure like me you will love it.

The image has come from the Strayz Collection.

I am on another mission to make some flat Christmas cards as i am sure the post office will put the cost up again before the day. Also helps sending across the water.

I coloured the image with promarkers and pencils

I cut the shape out of the DP which is from a old pad i with no front sorry

Matted onto the Mirricard which allowed it to form a frame

Cut the image out with the same die and trimmed the edge to allow a slight gap to show the mirri

Added a border of trees with a silver satin Merry Christmas and happy new Year sentiment on.

Stamped Winter wishes onto the DP and a few cuttlebug snowflakes.

I added some fluffy stuff to the hat and the trees have been glittered but doesnt show up

Do in this method the card base stays in much stronger with a strip adding extra strength at the base for standing. i do hate it when the slide open with the heat at Christmas dont you.

Dont forget to pop over to our sponsors shop 

Colour of Love

Well thanks for popping by and have a good weekend.

I also want to say how sorry I am that Kath has lost Buddy he was such a big part of her blog and I will miss reading about what he got up to. I am sure he will be playing across rainbow bridge wait for her one day to catch the ball.
