Last Christmas cards and Mum's birthday card

 Happy New Year! It's a cold one here and blowing a blizzard at the minute, definitely an evening for my PJs and the heat on. Miss Molly loves the snow but it's no fun for either of us defrosting the snowballs from her wee legs! 

Anyway here to share a card that was sent to my aunts, using this new-to-me set from Penny Black. Coloured with polychromos and the girl in the centre popped up on foam pads. For the sky I used a snowy stencil and just coloured through the holes with a white gel pen. 


Simon Says Stamp Monday - sparkle and shine

Word Art Wednesday #730-733 - anything goes

Penny Black Saturday December - anything goes/ something new

And this is Mum's birthday card - I had an absolute stinker of a cold when I was making it so it's not my best work, but better than expected!! I only thought of it after but I wish I'd had the numbers spelling out her birth date instead of just random. 


Cut it up #346 - anything goes 

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - add a sentiment

These are both adorable cards Lynne! I especially love the one that you posted with us at Word Art Wednesday. You’ve done such a great job capturing the magic of Christmas. Your coloring is wonderful too. Thanks so much for joining us this round, and warm wishes to both you and Miss Molly!

Both cards are awesome. I absolutely love those little carolers, and the bear flying high with the balloons is super sweet. Happy, happy birthday to your Mum. I wish her many more happy, healthy birthdays!
