My Mojo is still waning.... and I need to make some Christmas cards - getting asked at work when am I bringing them in to sell! So while I was in Spotlight yesterday morning getting some knitting needles to make some little Ugg boots for the upcoming arrival... I spotted a pack of pre-cut dies cuts
These first two use die cut poinsettias. I enhanced them with some grey pencils. The first one was added to some purple patterned paper and used a Kaisercraft sentiment embossed onto black card and the second one used an embossed panel with the same sentiment.
Loved these three gnomes so added them all together on the one card. I grounded them with a strip of bronze glitter washi tape. The panel was embossed in the upper corners and finished with a gnome sentiment.
The next two cards used patterned paper. One had a little touch of stamping of some pine branches in the corner.
the deer and the Merry Christmas banner are actually silver but it was very hard to get the photo to show this. Both papers came from a Recollections paper pack
And my final card for the day was a commissioned card.... Request was for something for a NZ'er and his Italian partner who live in Spain..... so came up with NZ Pohutakawa branches covered with some snow.... and with a Spanish sentiment.
Think I got the brief covered.

Wow, Dawn, for someone whose mojo is waning, you've made some awesome cards. While I'm not entirely sure of what a NZ Pohutakawa branch might be (it seems similar to our Pine tree branches) I love what you've done with the snow and berries. Love the square format and the colours you've chosen as well as that Spanish sentiment. Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.
