It's hard to believe that Christmas is only 2 weeks away. The sun is shining, the grass still has some green, and we're not really into winter clothing yet....I'm loving it!
Of course it means it's time for those Christmas cards, and I found I wasn't ready....so I've been busy with some simpler designs, which are somewhat quicker. I think I am the slowest when it comes to actually finishing cards!
This is a Stampendous stamp, purchased ages ago, and never used. It was just like Christmas when I found it. lol I heat embossed then partially coloured the leaves, adding red stickles for the berries.
I've cut and matted using two dies from the Spellbinders Decorative Labels Eight set. For the final touch, I've added the corner stamp from Stämpelkällan.
I'm off to physio shortly, and a nice walk in town while the weather is so wonderful.
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.
