Christmas??


Every November and December I have to go crazy making my stock of Christmas cards
 - and every January I resolve to make some every month so it's not such a problem!

The plan this year was to make 3 each week! 
So by now my Christmas card basket should have maybe 18 cards in it...
How many does it have? 4!!

Anyway... I decided to make a Christmas card for the sketch challenge from

Our crafty lady crew met on Tuesday and our good friend Susan Kaiser
 showed us some tricks with a brayer. 
We made the following elements:



I decided to use part of the winter sky for this card:



The other circles used stamps and embossing in a lovely blue.
 Papers were from my scrap bags...

The sketch was


Happy crafting!

    Such a fab card, Susan. Love the colours. The elements you made with the braying technique are great too. Something I have never tried. By the way, the four cards you have are 4 more than I have! Lol!! Good luck with the Christmas card making.
