    My last post for 2020 is a quick card for my nephew whose birthday is Sunday and I belatedly realised that there is a bank holiday on the Friday before.
   The image is from Hunkydory's Little Book of planes, trains and automobiles and I have cut the frame using one of the dies from their with love set.

Christmas elf


 
   For this last Christmas card I have used a digi from Moonflower Digital Stamps called 'Gina, Christmas elf', coloured using Promarkers and cut out using an oval Tattered Lace die. I matted red card onto gold card and added a black card strip onto which I added the greeting cut from gold mirri using Tattered Lace dies. The embellishments were odd bits of die cuts from my stash.

Dragon present


    My daughter wanted a glittery dragon card for one of her friends so I came up with this.
   After wrapping glittery eyelash ribbon round mock glitter card I matted and layered it onto iridescent mirri card and white card. The image called 'Dragon present' from Lee Holland was coloured using Chameleon pens  to which I added loose glitter. I matted it onto iridescent mirri and added tiny red gems for the holly berries and slightly larger gems to one of the corners. The sentiment was cut using a Tattered Lace die.
