CAS Christmas - October (Part 1)

Even though I didn't manage a make last month, taking part in the CAS Christmas challenge as often as I have been able this year has managed to give me a few more cards than I usually have at this time of year. I'll still be panicking come the start of December as that has now become part of my normal build up to Christmas!

This month the challenge theme set is a 'Winter Scene'.

I have actually made a couple of cards for this challenge and will pop them in the gallery when I can but thought I'd share this one first.

I bought this stamp over 10 years ago - and as with a lot of my stash, think I used it once!

Stamped and watercoloured and a liberal amount of glitter on the chimney top and roof.

Oh and I used the tiniest blob of Nuvo Crystal drops on the reindeer's nose! And I am a little pleased with myself 'cos it looks cute!

Thanks for looking - have a great day! x

A great Christmas card - I imagine lots of us have stamps and other crafty items which were 'must-haves' and then were only used the once!!

A lovely little scene and the dot of red on his nose just finishes your card off perfectly. I am down on my Christmas card numbers this year. I think a lot will need to be made with pre coloured images. Hugs Mrs A.

After a decade collecting dust this image deserved to get used again. I need to speed up my Christmas card making too, especially as It seems December is my least productive Christmas card month, based on experience. Also, postage deadlines mean I have a personal deadline at end of November. It’s not my intention to increase your stress level though, lol. I think this is perfectly clean and a postage friendly card.

Love your snowy roof, Viv! And is that Prancer pawing on the roof? Thanks so much for sharing this with us at CAS Christmas!

This is so cute,Viv! Love your reindeer on the roof card. The chimney glistens with the glitter snow on top. And your sentiment has me thinking about "twas the night before Christmas", which isn't too long away. :) xx
