It seems to have been ages since I have had time to make some cards, I have started back to work with a bang, its been exceptionally busy and crafting has taken a back seat.
At last today, I have had a few hours to myself and have set about making a few Christmas cards and entry's for the latest Hero Arts Challenge.. The Postcard stamp from Hero Arts makes a lovely shape card and I have made three using it. The first two have a distressed background that I have splattered with water, I love this Peacock blue. I was lucky enough to win this older Christmas Flourish Tree stamp and have embossed it in white and also gold for the second card. This card I am going to enter in the Moxie Fab World "All that Glitters is Gold" Challenge. (Thanks for the heads up Lin.)
The last card is very CAS and I have just added some sparkle with gems and stickles.
I am hoping things have quietened down a bit now and I can get back into my craft room again!

So glad you found some "me" time, Sally - love all of these cards! You should enter the 2nd one in the MFW gold challenge: http://www.moxiefabworld.com/2013/09/the-all-that-glitters-is-gold-challenge.html
So Pretty :)
Gorgeous cards Sally, the blue is fabulous with the gold and silver tree. I love your CAS tag too, Cathy x
You're right Sally, that stamp does make such a nice shaped & size card! Love your embossed tree, perfect for XMas and then your more "cleaner" design is just as beautiful!
Such pretty cards, Sally! I love the blue one! Good luck in the challenges.
Getting back into routine always takes a while! Especially when you're working with kids - they siphon off energy, you know :) lol!
These are absolutely gorgeous! Love the fun inked backgrounds & that swirl tree - and the perfect sparkle on the snowflakes!
beautiful tag cards Sally. I love how you used the stamp to make the card shape.
Happy crafting time, Sally! These tags are all so beautiful~my fave is the gold embossed Christmas tree on that pretty peacock blue paper :)
