It's my turn to share a project on the Country View Project Blog and I have been making Christmas cards. This is a really easy one to make but still has technique and colour and I have left it flat so that it can post easily.
Here's a couple of sneak peeks to tempt you over to see more details if you are interested.
Thanks for stopping by today and have a great week.

Good morning crafters, Brenda
here to share my latest Christmas card with you. Now it's been designed
it doesn't take too long to make and I think I will try it again using
different background colours. In real life the background on this card
is a bluey green whereas this looks very yellow - obviously the light
conditions have affected the photography.
Anyway to make a start take the green distress inks, smoosh them on your
craft mat and spritz with water until you see small droplets form.
Press your card into it and dry with a heat gun, repeating these two
steps several times until you have this lovely mottled effect.
Die-cut the tree and flick watery picket fence distress paint over to look lie snow. Ink the edges with ground espresso.
Die-cut the mini reindeer from greyboard, ink and cover with glitter.
Stamp the background card using distress paint, then blend complimentary
or contrasting inks over, then use a damp babywipe to remove it from
the distress painted parts.
Assemble the pieces and complete the card with some glitter stars and a script word.
My Christmas card box is happily increasing in numbers - what about
yours? If you are like me you try to keep costs down when sending cards
through the post and this will go as normal letter post, so couldn't be
better eh?
Thanks for stopping by today. All the main supplies I used are listed
below and with just one click you can be transported to the Country View
Crafts shop.
