There's gnome time like Christmas

Today's card is featuring one of my favourite Christmas embellishments; glitter!  I'm not a huge fan of using metallic card on my crafts, partly because it's so difficult to photograph, but I do love a sprinkling of glitter on my festive cards.  I use glamour dust, which is really fine glitter, and glossy accents to stick it on.

Santa Mug

Today's festive card is another where I've just used my Silhouette instead of watercolouring. It was fun to make especially because I really enjoy shaped cards.

Santa Suit

It's time to catch up with some blogposts as I've been AWOL for a few weeks. Today's card is one of a small batch that I've made using my Silhouette for hubby's chums.  It was quite fussy to cut and stick, but I made a set of half a dozen so had a mini production run going with my Silhouette at one point.

Christmas Post

I'm a little late this week posting my card for As You Like It Challenge.  

This week we want to know your favourite embellishment.  I keep returning to this card layout time and time again because I love the soft ribbon tied in a double bow and pretty paper flowers framing my watercoloured image.
