Hi,
Yes, it's me. It's been a while hasn't it?
I thought I'd share my Christmas cards for this year that I gave to friends and family.
It's been a strange year and a very busy one. I lost my dad in January so with the funeral to arrange and all the official stuff that goes with a death and then clearing out his house, I didn't have a lot of mojo or time. I did manage to fulfil most of my LIM DT posts and the odd birthday card but that was about it.
Then in May we moved house. I thought I was really organised and we did manage quite well until we started doing the renovations we'd planned. I'm far too old for all that upheaval but eventually the work was finished and the house feels like a home again.
So, when it came to Christmas cards I didn't really have much idea where I was going with them. I started with one design, liked it so much I used the same design but in different colours then went on from there. You'll see there's a running theme to them all but it turned out so much easier and quicker and I have had some great feedback so I'm pleased with the outcome.
Hopefully 2024 will be a little bit more relaxed.
This one turned out so well I made another,
Both the blue and the green card has a lovely sheen to it. The gold on the green looks very classy I think.
This one is on white linen card and the trees are cut from pearlised pastel card.
For this one I chose card in the brightest colours for a different affect.
I think my little tree dies have more than earned their keep this year don't you.
