Retro Christmas 3

Hi Crafty Friends!

It's all about gingerbread inspiration and slimline cards for today's showcase of the Retro Christmas STAMPcuts by STAMPlorations.

Have a look ...


Somehow I was in need of baubles and with Happy Post popping through my door again, I found my ideal background in repeat stamping the new Found Fragments #3 stamp down one side of my card topper. The circles were coloured in festive red and green, mainly lime green to be precise, picking up colours from the shadow colours of the Merry Christmas STAMPcut ... and here they were ... my background baubles.

Everything was layered up and the Christmas stockings finished off with a few gems for sparkle.


My second card was actually made before the first one and it's thanks to the ephemera tiles that  today's post has the gingerbread feel.

The background of stamped poinsettia with golden splatters, nicely mirroring the wreath's circular shape, brings movement to the card by inviting the eyes to wander.



That's it from me for today. 

Wishing you all a lovely weekend.
Hugs
