A vintage kind of Christmas

I loved these Kaisercraft papers I bought the other day.  And so I made two quick cards.  here is the first one.  Love the flocking on the brown paper.

I'm entering this into the following Challenges:

• I did it Creations Challenge: Vintage
• Stampin Royalty: Christmas Card
• Spoonful of Sugar: Christmas Card
• Belli Challenge: Christmas Embellishment
  

Finally some cards to share!!!

OK there will be three posts today for three cards!

First up is Holly!

If you like Holly you can get her here.  Unfortunately my ink ran when I put the glitter on and I wasn't too keen on my grey outline and shadow (too dark in my opinion!!)! Oh well...

This one is for the following challenges:

• Colour Q: Turquoise/Red/Green/Yellow and White
• Card Patterns: Sketch
• Everything but the Kitchen Sink: Texture/turquoise
• Stampin Royalty: Christmas Card
• Spoonful of Sugar: Christmas Card
• Belli Challenge: Christmas Embellishment

I used my new MFT snowflake die, that is just beautiful.  I was excited to find this shop: Jay Gee's Nook a couple weeks ago based in Australia selling lots of my favourite brands from blogland! Judith who owns the shop is fantastically helpful and also has a cool blog with challenges too, the current one is on my 'to do' list too!!!
