Merry Christmas to my Darling Wife

First of my commission christmas cards.
Used a LOTV bear image (I think!) I can't remember where from.
the beautiful snowflake was a kind donation from Adele on Docrafts. thanks so very much Adele they were fabulous. I glittered them as Adele advised me to do with glamour dust! very sparkly and Christmassy then added a candi dot to centre of snowflake
Wording done on pc and matted onto red card stock.
I've changed printers and the new one doesn't like to accept the thicker card to print direct onto! so I have had to resort back to printed and matting again for now.

thanks for looking and stopping by today!

hugs Rosie

With Love at Christmastime 2

Excuse the very dodgy photo!!
Image is from Digistamp boutique called Jasper. he is so cute. love the mistletoe and the robin
as always coloured with copics. Glamour dust added for sparkle. Wording done on PC.
matted onto a  freebie backing paper that came with Quick Cards Made Easy magazine.
simple and plain, but quite effective I think?
but what do you other crafters think? too plain?

Friendship swap card

This is the card I sent to Deb on the Docrafts forum Friendship swap for October.

I used a gorgeous Lily of the Valley image called Milly Flower - isn't she gorgeous.

As always she is coloured in with Copics and I used some glossy accent on the centre of the flower.
Papers are from a download - can't remember the name but I do like the purple and green combo.
wording done on the PC using Greeting Card Factory. matted onto scalloped edge circle from the Spellbinders Nestability range.
corner flourish cut from purple card stock. flower gem from stash. flowers cut from xcut punch.

thanks for looking!
