Seasons Greetings...

I thought I should post something Christmas themed as I'm feeling very festive at the moment. With all the Carol services and wrapping and decorating I've been doing I felt like it was high time I made a Christmassy post.

This year I made Christmas cards for some of my closest friends and somehow I managed to make all three of these cards within two hours.

The Christmas tree, Gingerbread man and Snowman are shapes cut out of wood which I painted with acrylic paint. This step took the longest; all I had to do after that was mount them on cards and write a little message underneath in gold gel pen. When it comes to cards, I find the simplest designs are often the most effective so despite the temptation to add more, I had to stop myself.

Usually I write extra little messages in my Christmas cards as opposed to just having 'Merry Christmas' so this year I wrote each of my friends a little poem inside which made them laugh. 

I was very pleased with the way these cards turned out and I thoroughly enjoyed making them. It was well worth the time I spent on them and I'll definitely be making some next year. 

Have a FANTASTIC Christmas everyone!
