Dear Santa
I am starting to really get into my Christmas card making, I am loving so many of the beautiful Christmas papers that Kaiser have released in their new Q2 range {Yes, Sorry NO Stampin’ Up! in this one} I have used the “Dear Santa” range and the stamps are from Darkroom Door which is one of my favourite stamp company’s, the images are SO nice to stamp and they have such details, I am super picky with stamp quality because I am so used to the great quality and value of Stampin’ Up! {Not just saying that because I am a demo lol}
I have been trying to take part in more sketch challenges lately to keep my mojo going but I have been slack for the past few weeks, I had to do Beate’s weekend sketch because it was just so great. I also set a little challenge for myself not to use any ribbon on this card because I was looking at all my cards last week and I never realised how much I use ribbon, so I wanted to see how I would go without any ribbon…. It was hard
Here is Weekend Sketch Challenge #101 from Beate Johns
This is what I came up with:
The inside, you know I love showing you the inside.

Gee Teneale you have done a wonderful card here, the stamp is great and i partiulary love the papers that you choose. Your idea with also finishing of the inside of the card is great, much nicer then putting a pedicoat on them, dont you think.
So pleased i found your blog, thanks for sharing.
