Christmas is On the Way ...

Good Afternoon!
Christmas is only two days away so it seemed rather fitting to create a card using a stamp called 
'On the Way'. 
This card uses an older stamp from Lili of the Valley and is the card that I'l be giving my partner this year .. the stamp seemed perfect as it also includes a little pooch (we have a dog) and some Christmas foliage (I'm a keen gardener) so the stamp reminded me of us both ...
it's the little things lol

Merry Christmas with Tilda

Good Evening!
After sifting through my Magnolia stamped images last week I couldn't help but have another look through them all and pick another design to play along with! I used to craft with Magnolia stamps all the time but haven't done so for a while, so this card was made simply for fun!
I do love the older Christmas designs and this little tilda with a garland is ever so pretty.

Penny Black Saturday December Challenge!

Good Evening!
There's still time to play along with our challenge over at PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE and the theme is 'Anything Goes + Option of Sparkle & Shine!'

I've created a clean and simple card today and kept it as minimal as possible for me! I even kept the stamped image as black and white for the simplistic look. The stamp I've used is an oldie but one of my all time favourites! 
Unfortunately you can't tell on the photograph, but I have added some frantage embossing powder over the main image for an extra wintery effect ... I really need to find a way to improve my photographs of Clean & Simple cards.
