christmas already???!!!

i just received tim's xmas embossing folder and xmas strip die today ....

i had a few images ready stamped, and i have been asked by my charity friends to make them some cards for an event in november so i had a quick bash at a few cards this afternoon ;

stamped background with perfect pearl spray
and festive die cuts

stamped bacground covered in clear embossing powder
festive greenery added

crackle stamped onto blue di background,
 stamped over with clear perfect medium with white
embossing powder over the top,
then run through embossing folder 

crackle stamp, music and angel in clear perfect medium with heirloom gold perfect pearl dusted over the top,
phrase embossed with black sparckle powder

i'm loving the stamped/embossed look, which i used a lot on my halloween cards

hope you like them --- lots more to be made!!!

sad news -- my REPLACEMENT vagabond has also bitten the dust!!!!!!!

i've been told by the person dealing with me that a lot of uk machines have been breaking down ... might be a problem with making the motor work on uk current!

hoping machine 3 will arrive soon!!
