I am a bit out of practice with Christmas cards,but seeing as there are only 175 days 'til Christmas Day (eek!!)
it seemed like a good time to start making some.
I managed to dig out my box full of Christmas papers and stamps,
but I definitely need to buy some seasonal embellies.
I came across some mulberry paper (the dark green)
that I haven't used in ages.
If you wet the edges and carefully tear it,
you get a lovely feathered effect.
I 3D'd a couple of mice with foam pads,
coloured them with copics and added some stickles glitter.
I used a green chalk around the image and some yellow,
where the lantern is.
It doesn't show up too well in the photo though.
I finally found a great leaf punch.
My last one - I had to stamp on to get it to cut through anything,
and then it would completely jam!!
This one is from Xcut and it embosses as well.
