Merry Christmas

Today I am just popping is to share a few of my Christmas cards and to wish everyone a very happy Christmas, however you spend it.


This simple tree is hand drawn using real brush watercolour pens and masking.


This hotfoil plate came with my Gemini Foilpress. It worked so well that I made a number of these with different coloured bases. Hunkydory adorable scorable coated card also works really well for foiling.


I bought this stamp set from Uniko a long time ago and have finally used it. My red glow on the horizon nearly turned to mud, but not quite!

Thanks for all the inspiration, kind words and visits I have had this year. I am looking forward to a very creative 2024 (I hope).

Merry Christmas

I am sharing card one at:
Christmas Kickstarter #81 - if it is Christmasy link it up
Happy little Stampers - December Watercolour challenge

I am sharing card 2 at:
Inkspiration #305 - Word prompt celebrate. not that I would celebrate if it snowed, but many people do, especially kids.
Allsorts week 760 - cold and ice

I am sharing card three at:
