Another Christmas card

After being away on holiday for over 3 weeks, it is great to get back into cardmaking again. I am now so late with my Christmas card makes!!
I saw this challenge on
http://pennybfriendssaturdaychallenge.blogspot.com/
for green and trees.
I can also enter at

for anything goes
and at
http://shoppingourstash.blogspot.com/
for Christmas or Winter

I used 3251H Garland Tree, and stamped it 3 times on the card, and 3 times on different green papers, which I then paper pieced. Finished off with some green spotty ribbon, a gold metallic snowflake, and  Christmas words. Quite simple really, but looks very nice IRL

Back to cardmaking.......

It has been quite a while since I have been able to update my blog, as we have had family home from overseas to help celebrate our Golden Wedding Anniversary. They have all gone home now, so it's mountains of washing, and cleaning sticky fingermarks off windows etc!!
Anyway I have been seeing lots of Halloween cards on blogs, so thought I would have a go - although we don't really celebrate it here in NZ

Sparkly Butterfly

This is such a beautiful sentiment, it only needed the butterfly as a embellishment. I made this for the challenge at

'Sailing Away'

This card has been made in a similar style that we did at card/coffee group last week.
I have embossed the bottom edge with my shell collage CB folder and rubbed in a little metallic rub-on. I have forgotten the brand of stamp, but it is very useful for mens cards. I have added 3 eyelets at the top.
