A few last Christmas cards and an exciting guest at Die Cut Divas.

I've got a last few Christmas cards to share today.  It was very warm after work so I hid out in my craft room which was nice and cool.  I managed two very CAS cards before dinner and my walk.

First up a card for CAS-ual  Friday's Out on a Branch challenge



No stamping involved in this card at all... the die cut from Tim Holtz was a purchase last year but never used till today.  I cut the tree from Kraft card stock and distressed with Vintage Photo and Pine Needles distress inks.  Cut the bird from red card stock and added to an off white textured base.  I've added this to the following challenges
City Crafter Challenge Blog ~ Christmas Colours
CAS-ual Fridays ~ Out on a Limb

and my second card uses a freebie stamp from a magazine.  It is a Forever Friend teddy bear.



I stamped and coloured with Copics and paired it with a Kaisercraft sentiment.    This one is entered into these challenges
Penny Black and More ~ Traditional Christmas colours
Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes

Now to let you know that Die Cut Divas guest for December is none other than Barb Engler.    Do go and visit and find out a bit more about her and see her beautiful card.

And finally I'll leave you with this beautiful photo I took while I was out on my walk this evening.  I took this at 7.50pm



It was a beautiful evening and I enjoyed my walk.
