Christmas Playdate..

Hey,

Happy Friday!!

Last Sunday when I got back from Mexico, JT and I had a great playdate (she has already posted her cards), we originally set out to try a technique we had seen - essentially a resist, but using your fingers..

But it morphed into a elaborate Christmas card make / gossip / sangria / coffee session.

The main card is my fave, because that giant Tree background stamp by Hero Arts has been my nemesis for 3 years..I kept trying to use him, but he never worked as I imagined he would. This time he delivered GOLD!!!
The bright red die-cut sentiment is perfect and I have JT to thank as she gifted the dies to me - by Tim Holtz.

The next four cards all use the same resist watercolour, but I finished them off in slightly different ways.

Does something ever really annoy you? The Christmas die above annoys me, Christmas is not one big die cut and I hate matching it up..sorry mini rant there!!

I love the bluey tones of this card though, the snowflakes really pop.

The next 3 cards use a great stamp by Lawn Fawn, I fell in love with it last year (I have WAY too many Christmas stamps)..

Fun times, I love a playdate with my girl, it makes things better always.

Have a great weekend, I am going to be hanging out with friends and hubby and playing at my desk.
