My sweet little deer card wasn’t good enough for Nanny, she wanted something “…bigger”! Well this card is probably actually smaller but she seemed to like it (she’s not a fan of CAS in all truth):

I don’t know where I saw this idea but thanks to the wonders of watermarks, I can see it was originally from this blog post. Cute, huh?

Michael–mas

Apologies for the dirty word, but I have a Christmas card to share with you today. The Papermania Michael Powell collection have added Christmas designs to their range and they are just a little bit gorgeous:
My first thought when I saw it was of a stained glass window so I tried heat embossing it on to acetate and then coloured with promarkers.

Now I just need to decide whether it needs a sentiment or not…?
