Hello there my crafty friends,
As always, Blog land is getting quieter as the big day approaches. I'm here to share my last card before Christmas Eve. Here it is:
I bought this lovely squirrel stamp set from Visible Image in their Black Friday sale. It's a perfect stamp for autumn but I couldn't wait to get him inked up, so I used him to make a Christmas card. I'm really enjoying all things Christmas at the moment, so I'm making the most whilst I'm in the mood to get ahead with my cards for next year. I've realised recently that I have way more birthday cards than I will ever need, so I'd like to make more Christmas cards throughout the year. I promise not to post them until the back end of the year, other than my monthly entries to the Rudolf Day challenge on the 25th of each month. For anyone wondering how I made the snow at the bottom of my card, I used some Dr. Ph. Martin's Bleed Proof White. It's a fabulous opaque white paint that's perfect for making and painting snowy effects. It was a considered purchase for me but well worth it!
As I've used lots of little snippets of card on this card with the squirrel, nuts, logs and leaves, I would like to enter this card into 'Pixie's Snippets Playground' challenge #418
I think that's all from me for today, so I'll love you and leave you until my next post on Christmas Eve.
Take care of yourselves, wrap up warm and stay safe xx

A super Christmas card featuring a squirrel. There's at least one squirrel visiting my garden at the moment and feeding upside down from a bird seed feeder!
Hope to see you up in the Playground Treehouse for a mince pie and some mulled wine.

I love that cute squirrel Sandra and can see why you were drawn to it, and love the more neutral tones with the browns and the contrasting white for the background snowflakes and snow. The white paint looks like a great idea and it has worked brilliantly. x

I love that you used that stamp to make a Christmas card. The snow looks so authentic and so do the wood logs. Great card!

Thank you for that lovely response to my blog post about blogging friends. I agree it is quiet and I hope that is because everyone is busy with Christmas. More and more are going to Instagram since it is so quick but I still like reading the posts, seeing what was used making the card and just connecting with people. Enjoy the holidays with your family and hope there is time to do some cardmaking for you to.
Gorgeous card and the squirrel is so cute! Wonderful work too.
Hugs
