still playing with TH dies...

this tree line is a die I bought last year and just didn't know what I was going to use it on but when I bought the Santa Sleigh die I thought it made a perfect backdrop.....
I used white gesso dry brushed over the craft card...

Christmas card club challenge 16...Christmas activities...sleigh,sledge or ski's

this weeks challenge was set by Maureen and sent me looking for something old to use for the first time...just like most crafters I have so much stuff I have bought and not used yet so my mission this year is to make at least one christmas card each week using stash....

this is an image from a La Pashe cd the best of 2012...Pickles and Podge...decoupage....lots of glitter and a few snowflakes...the sentiment is from Tonic.
If you would like to see the creations made by the rest of the girls their links are on my sidebar.
