Christmas Cards and FREE classes

I love making my own Christmas cards. In October 2011 I spent a month making a card a day, 10 of which were Christmas themed. This year I've been playing with sprays, distress ink pads, stencils, gelli prints, glitter and stitch.

Variations on using a fern stencil as a Christmas tree with gelli printed tape trims

I apply the distress ink pad with a sponge dauber on my finger through a stencil - you could also use a cosmetic sponge.

And glitter - you'll see it if you click on the picture and enlarge it
