Quick to Make Christmas Cards!

Good Morning!
I thought today that I would show you some cards that I made on Tuesday morning. I'd had a little sort through of my Christmas stash a couple of weeks ago and came across some Toppers that I'd bought back when I first started crafting. I finally dug them back out this week and layered some of them up to create focal points on some quick to make cards. I managed to get 8 made in under an hour and considering it usually takes me that amount of time to make just one it was quite a change! lol





INGREDIENTS -
Various Toppers
Penny Black Sentiment Stamps
Dew Drops, Cheesecloth, Ranger Glossy Accents & Foam Tape


INKS USED -
Archival Ink - Red Geranium

I'l share the other four cards with you on Saturday!
