Christmas Card

Hello All.

Well this makes a nice change doesn't it. The weekend is here and the sun is out woo hoo!!  Having a nice lazy day today.  Been out in the garden this morning tidying up again.  Everything has gone mad with all the rain we've had. 

Last year I made at least one Christmas card a week but this year I've let it slip so thought whilst I had a bit of time I'd make a quick and simple one.

Image Pink Gem Designs - Robin with Mistletoe
Coloured with Prisma Pencils
Hat and Scarf paper pieced
Glamour Dust

I am entering this card into the following challenges:
A Gem of a Challenge - Kraft at Christmas
Creatalicious Challenge - Christmas in July
Stamping with the Dragon - Christmas in July
Divas by Design - Anything Goes
Hooked on Craft Challenges - Christmas in July
Crafters Companion - Ho Ho Christmas

I enjoyed making this card and it was so quick, I think I might do a batch of these.

Just sat here flicking between the golf and the Tour de France, blimey Wiggins is flying!!

Take care and enjoy the rest of the weekend.  xx
