Blueprint Christmas Tree

This is my first Christmas card of the year, I have posted a few earlier in the year but they were all created last year.  I have been watching tutorials on YouTube and came across one created by Shari Carroll using the Tim Holtz Tree Blueprint and decided it was time to use the one that I have in my stash.


I coloured my tree with distress inks and added some clear sparkle pen to the baubles, star and die cut sentiment - I think this card would be perfect for one of those difficult men in my life.

 

I would like to enter this card into the February Rudolph Days Challenge.

Great Pacific Railroad

This is another one of the card downloads that I found when I was having a tidy up on my computer, I'm not sure where it came from so I'm afraid I can't give credit.


This one would be perfect for an elderly gentleman, again there was lots of my favourite fussy cutting and inked edges.
