Merry Christmas Mum

This is the card I have made for my Mum this year, I always leave it until the last minute.

The decoupage image is from Jayne Nestorenko and the papers are from the Simple Stories Cozy Christmas collection.

I used a Fiskars punch for the border and the ribbon and pearls are from my stash, I'm pretty sure that the sentiment came from one of my Ooh La La Creations CDs.

I have used a Jayne Nestorenko Decoupage Image and papers from the Trimcraft Nordic Christmas pad, I'm determined to use up some of my stash of old papers.

Deck the Halls

I saw some fabulous Christmas stamps by Jayne Nestorenko in one of my craft magazines the other day so I popped over to her website and had a quick look - needless to say one or two stamps and some traditional decoupage sheets fell into my basket.  They arrived within a couple of days and this is a card I have made with one of the decoupage sheets.

The decoupage sheets are really good quality but a little fiddly to cut out, there are six layers in total.  I embossed the white card stock with my Embossalicious Chevrons embossing folder using an embossing diffuser that I made myself before layering it onto some Kraft card stock.  The sentiment was part of the decoupage sheet and the string is from my stash.

This photograph shows the decoupage layers a little better.

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