From Our Home

Now that the new edition of Making Cards is in the shops I can share my Downton Abbey cards that were published in last months magazine.

I was asked if I could make some Christmas themed cards and this is what I came up with:


The image and papers are from the CD and the sentiment is a Sheena Douglass stamp.  I added glitter around the base of the house and on the tree branch to represent snow and give the image a Christmas feel.


I added a seam binding bow and some pearls from my stash.


I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

My Time to Craft Challenge 312 - Friendship/ Friends
CHNC Challenge Extra - Anything Christmas Goes
The Sisters of Craft January Challenge - Anything Goes
