Christmas cards featuring a wonky tree (digital), ribbon, decorative paper and small font greetings


Another four Christmas cards to add to my stash!!!!  I downloaded these cute little trees (Craft Starters) and laser printed them while I was getting the images ready for my Father's Day cards.  I chose this wonderful decorative paper (donation from my sister) and then prepare four red cards to go with the paper.  I trimmed the laser printed images, watercoloured them and then layered them with a coordinating blue layer.  The layer is a lighter blue paper which I sponged on the edges to get the colour just right.  I added two short lengths of red ribbon on the upper right edge and then mounted my images to the cards I had layered with my decorative paper.  I added the little laser printed font greetings on the left hand edges in the curve of the tree.  I added sliver glitter star punchies over the ones that printed with the image.  They work quite well.  Very sparkly!!!  Really happy to have a few more cards in my stash!!  I am staying ahead of my commitment to making cards every month!!  I will have what I need come November.   Therese
