My final three Christmas cards

All designs by Sue Wilson

another xmas trio

Three more design from Sue Wilson

The last one is one of the first I made back in July I think!  Again the shaving foam background, covered in micro beads.

christmas cards continue

three more of the charity cards I made earlier this year

[I started in july!]

I'm pretty sure they are all designed by Sue Wilson, but sometimes I tweak them from the original design.  I know the central one is my own take on the foliage in blue.

christmas wishes and more

Three more cards from my the load I donated to my charity this year.

The top one is a design by Phill Martin  --  I bought his xmas stamp set and thought I should use them!

The other two are by Sue Wilson

more christmas ...

Three more cards today

All of these were designed by Sue Wilson

3 christmas cards

I have a lot of Christmas cards to show

The top one in red and gold is a John Lockwood design

The middle one is one of Sue Wilson's using the 'shaving foam' technique for the background.

The last one is also by Sue which I kept very simple

peace, noel

 

two more Christmas designs from Sue Wilson

I'm still here!

 I know i have not posted anything for a while but I have still been making cards!

I had a long period of just making Christmas cards which i am glad to see the end of!

They have all been donated to my charity and sold within days so I am very pleased.

My huge appreciation as always to Sue Wilson for her stunning designs.

I also used a few of John Lockwood's designs too.

Here is a couple of them for today

thanks

a simple blue and white card from Sue Wilson

just because

A lovely stamped image in this Sue Wilson card.

I stamped and coloured it twice and cut the main flowers out to layer for dimension

More beautiful dies by Sue on pre-order release for September.  

you're wonderful

I have been AWOL for a short while again, sorry.

Just one of those things when i just lost my mojo.

Anyway as always Sue Wilson provides the inspiration and i have made a few cards recently.

This is aqua and white and a lot of sparkle.

happy birthday

I am sure showing a card made using a design by John Lockwood

I hope he will not mind too much if i borrow more of his exquisite designs!

very special day

My favourite style of designs from Sue Wilson here.

Tone on tone, clean, elegant.

This is done in milk and blush card.  I love everything about it.

***

It has been Pride day here in Brighton but I haven't left the house!!  I don't handle huge crowds very well so I  just stayed in and worked on some more cards. Xmas included!

thanks

milk and gold card for this Sue Wilson design.

Sue's striplet dies are so versatile.

Like millions of others I am using and loving the new Windows 10 on my computer,

but as yet Edge does not like to publish blogs so back to Chrome for that until it gets sorted!

treasured friend

I have been busy making Christmas cards recently and only managed a few 'usual' cards.

The charity I make for has had a big buyer again recently so I need to make them some more!

This card is a lovely sparkly Sue Wilson design, in one of her signature 'buckle' cards.

thanks

Another of Sue Wilson's more recent shares, using the weaving die in yet another way.

I used antique silver card with the pumice coloured card for a change to white.  It gives a softer look and imo goes well with silver.

Possibly a good card for a male recipient.

thank you

When i saw Sue Wilson's original of this card I was a little daunted, but when i made this I was surprised that it wasn't too difficult!   Just a lot of lovely decoration.

I got the sentiment stamp as an individual at Ally Pally.

Not having any string pearls in cream i used some distress glitter in linen on the edge of the sentiment, and used some gold paper for the flowers which i found easier to manipulate. 

just a note

In Sue Wilson's original of this she used a different sentiment but it would be too large for my version so i used this one.

i don't have any silver texture paste so i mixed some gunmetal with polar white.

The thin ribbon is tinted grey with the new grey distress ink.

thanks

A simple Sue Wilson card using gloss black for a nice change and a matching stamp that i coloured using distress markers.

you're so special

There is a video on Sue Wilson's page that shows this card and how to do the letterpress background.
