Watercolour Christmas

I thought it was time to start making my Christmas cards, Christmas will be here before we know it and I haven't really given it much thought yet!


I have used my Watercolour Christmas Signature collection by Sara Davies to create a fun shaker card. I have used a couple of papers from the 6 x 6 paper pad and some die cuts from the 12 x 12 paper pad.  I used some of the snowflake dies from the collection to cut the snowflakes and added a sentiment that I cut from a border in the 12 x 12 paper collection.


I used the Chunky Glitter from the collection in the shaker, it's not much like glitter but it looks good in the shaker and shakes really nicely.


Thank you for visiting my blog today, your company is much appreciated - please leave a comment so that I can come and visit you.

Such a gorgeous card Pauline and you’ve framed the snowman beautifully. I really like your addition of the snowflakes and gifts as they soften the frame. I think I’ve just about finished making my Christmas cards but then again, I always think that and usually end up needing to make more :). x
