Cracking on with Christmas


Afternoon I'm just heading out to collect Jack so I thought I would share this with you before I go.
I decided it was time I made a serious start on the Christmas cards as the clock is ticking too fast these days.





A very simple design but effective I think. I embossed the cuttlebug folder and then applied Anitas glue and glamour dust for a sparkling finish. The berries were coloured using a Marvy Le Plume pen. The sentiment is computer generated.
