The Light Brigade

Hi,

I hope you are keeping well ? Well since I last posted we have been busy doing our garden and upcycling a bedside table (i'll try and get the photos off of my phone to upload) and being busy in our garden - clearing brambles and ivy and planting new plants (we are no gardeners, but we are giving it a go).

Today is the start of Rudolph Days Challenge and you have until the 30th to upload your Christmas card, don't forget to leave a comment on the Challenge and you will be in with a chance to win a fabby prize.

My card started off with the backing paper that was 5 x 5.5 inches (I think it's Stampin Up), which I cut down by 0.5 inches, I love the brass / copper sparkle.


Image ; Penny Black - 'The Light Brigade / 3916K / 2008'
Sentiment : Art Impressions - 'SC0799', the set with the lady and jumper 
Embossed Strips : Papermania - 'Christmas Borders', bought them years ago for 75p
Paper - I think Stampin Up, but a friend of mine, whose into Stamping Up in a big way, doesn't recognise it ??, but you may

Thanks for looking a for any comments you would like to leave, would be most appreciated, Luv Sam x

I've popped over from Rudolph Days to get a closer look at your card. I don't know who makes that paper, but it's beautiful. That's an adorable Penny Black image. Penny Black images tell such a story, don't they. Good luck with your garden.

What a cute pair of hedgies decking their halls Sam! Love the copper highlights too. It's lovely to hear that you've been rolling up your sleeves in the garden and I'm willing to bet you'll be catching the gardening bug! Vicky x
