Hi Crafters,
We're another week closer to Christmas and I have created more cards for my Christmas card box thanks to our fabulous little challenge every fortnight.
This week Christine would like us to base our card on a Christmas Carol and here's mine...
'The First Noel'
Recipe
Image - Woodware Stamp - Noel Tags
Various Christmas papers from stash
Distress Inking for backgrounds
Twine
Card Candy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I've created three variations using this lovely Woodware stamp, inking the backgrounds and then stamping and heat embossing the stamped image for more definition. I then stamped the images again, cut out and popped them up with foam squares for a subtle 3D effect.
I hope you like them.
