A Couple of Christmas cards

I am getting going more with the old Christmas cards, so here are a couple I made yesterday ...

The first one is for these challenges:
Creative Card Crew - Punch it
Simon Says Stamp - punches/die-cuts
Totally Papercrafts - bling it on
Basic Grey Challenge - sketch
Pollycraft challenge - Its chill time
Stamp With Fun - all that can fly
A Spoonfull of Sugar - relish to embellish
Stampavie and More - Christmas
This gorgeous Pollycraft snow fairy is coloured using my pens.  I stickled the wings and added ickle star gems and punched snowflakes.  I punched and layered some snowflakes and added some blue gingham ribbon and some large gems.  The DP is Basic Grey Blitzen and Friutcake.


This card covers these challenges:
Just Magnolia - sketch
Stampavie and More - Christmas
Pocketfull of Posies - winter bouquet
Wild Orchid Crafts - classic Christmas
A Spoonfull of Sugar - relish to embellish
Tilda is coloured using my pens, and then liberally stickled.  I have used some new dp (can't remember the name!!) and some flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.  The ticket sentiment is from Whimsy.

Time for a cup of coffee and then some serious catching up in my craft room ... I took a week's break last week to spend time with hubby, children and various relatives spread across the country ... all very relaxing and battery recharging ... now just need to catch up !!!
