Embossed Christmas

 

This embossing folder was a freebie with a magazine ages ago and has not been used much. The sprig of holly die was bought back in Nov 2021, and was used for a couple of years and then forgotten about. 

So I have teamed them up together to make some quick and easy Christmas cards for this year

Using slightly different colour schemes for them and the embellishments

Forgotten Stencils

 

I know exactly when I bought this delphinium flower stencil because I blogged about it in June 2016!

I tried it a couple of times with paste and spray paints, but never like the effect, so it sat at the bottom of a drawer, forgotten and neglected for 8 years.

Now, I have discovered it makes a lovely birthday card for gardeners using pink, purple and blue distressed oxide inks. Finished it off with a metallic purple dragonfly brad, that I have probably had for 8 years too!

Fairies Galore!

For some reason I seem to be drawn to making Fairy themed cards at the moment!

I'm not too sure why?

They will be going to help fund raising for local charities, so I hope others like them too!

Nasturtium Flower Fairy

Another bit of stash busting - using up these cute flower fairy images that have been lurking at the bottom of the drawer for years!
