Christmas - 2 takes on it!!

I am cracking on with the Christmas cards and have made a couple that are very contrasting ...

A very CAS Christmas card, and probably going to be one of my mass produced ones!!  I simply embossed some white cardstock with the wreath embossing folder and then stamped the wreath and bow in the centre.  Having stamped the text I matted it onto red cardstock and onto a card blank - very easy to do en masse!!

And now for something completely different - I do like making the odd vintage, embellishment heavy card ...

I coloured this cute LOTV fairy in using my promarkers, before distressing her with vintage phot distress ink and my paper distresser.  The dp is also distressed using the paper distresser and ink.  I added some muslim, lace, and ribbon, and added a bow with a wooden button at its centre.  The metal Christmas tree is a faulty charm - it has no loop!!! - so I glued it down using glossy accents.  I added the distressed decorative corner, WOC flowers and the LOTV sentiment.  Finally some teeny pearls were added to the decorative corner and the edge of the card, and the angel's wings and the edge of the image were stickled.
