Hi there.... well after a week away and a busy week back at work.... the old Mojo has been missing. So I decided to just play around today. I pulled out some of my pre-made backgrounds and found one I liked. To be honest, I not sure how I did it, but know it was a stencilled one.
I think it's a type of Joseph's Coat technique using a stencil. I die cut it and added a white border and then added to a black base. I used a Gina K flag die with a bit of extending done. The sentiment is also from Gina K. Love the sentiments in the Wreath Builder set. Added the little flourish from the set as well.
Next up I thought I'd make a card for the Christmas Kickstart Challenge...
I had some Christmas images stamped and die cut in my stash - so again pulled them out and did some colouring.
This is a mini slimline. I used an embossing folder to add the holly and berries to a red panel that I layered onto a gold panel. The middle sentiment circle was popped up. I added some glossy accents to the reindeer's nose.
We had a lovely week away and enjoyed great weather - apart from one afternoon. It was cold and raining the afternoon we got to Gisborne. And now only three and a half weeks till the wedding and another week off to spend time with the family.

Both cards are lovely, Dawn. That first card is a stunner and I love your second card too as Santa and Rudolph look so cute and really pop against the red embossing. Thanks for playing at Christmas Kickstart, Jo x
