I have been making lots of smaller simpler cards as I am doing a craft fair two weeks before Xmas. I have decided to go for the make them cheap and sell as many as I can approach so they are not as intricate as I would normally make for myself.
I'm not sure I will make any money - but I hope to cover the costs on materials. It also gives me a reason for using some of the papers and card that has been sitting in my garage forever, and I enjoy sitting 'colouring' in the evening if I get chance. You will see from the cards I post that I have re discovered silver holograph card - I forgot how great this stuff was!
Let's hope I sell some - I'm not sure it will be a great success, as most people will be going to a high street store that I won't name and buy 10 'handmade' cards for £1, but I will give it a go!
Tonight's post is a card I have made for my sister in law and family for Christmas. She is a nightmare as soon as we get to this time of year as she absolutely loves the snow and is always moaning that we don't get enough. Me - I'd rather live somewhere hot all year so we definitely differ.
I have used the snow angel Nikki stamp from Ladybug Crafts Ink, she has been coloured with Copics in pale green and orange - I coloured her first and then I was lucky enough to find the right coloured papers afterwards - the papers and ribbon are from a scrapbook kit I have had for ages. I have used glamour dust on Nikki, holographic glitter for the snow and the lovely white pom pom ribbon which was given to me by Sue. I punched the snowflakes out of off cuts of white cards and covered them with glossy accents and diamond dust. I Promise to post again soon!!!!
