52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown - Colour Challenge

By
Well it's that time of the week again and I have two more Christmas cards to show you. It's colour challenge week at 52CCT and here is the colour combo that Mynnette has chosen for us


For my first card I went for squares - lots of them, and added some candy canes from the Hung up on the Holidays set - take a look


The candy canes are stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink and they are mounted on to green card stock and then onto blue. The Winter Wishes sentiment is from a Papermania set and is stamped in Handsome Hunter ink.
Here's a close up


My second card uses a stamp from My Friend and I have hung it from fir tree branches (Lovely as a Tree) and then glittered them in blue


I think I went a bit over the top with the ribbon - but I like it!!
Here is another close up


Thanks for looking - don't forgot to skip on over to see Mynnettes blog too 'cos she has some lovely things to see too - see you soon - Jacqueline xx

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!!
