Monochromatic Christmas bringing the sparkle into 2020

 So although Christmas has passed, I decided to bring some sparkle into 2020 by making a golden monochromatic Christmas card.


I got these glitter reindeer and I just had to use one for this card. I stamped the sentiment using black ink and heat embossed using an old gold embossing powder. I then added three gold star sequins to finish.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Christmas Kitty

 So I have made the first of my Christmas cards for next year - a nice simple one!


I stamped the kitty image to start with. I was going to add a little festive coat, but I didn't like the way it sat on the cat, so decided against it. Instead I placed a present in front of the cat, with a Merry Xmas tag, and a holly leaf to the top of the card to add a bit of sparkle.

I also have a cute little baby to share with you. Unfortunately he lost the fight for life at half 4 this morning after several days of 2-4 hourly supplementary feeding :(.

 I have completed some patchwork stitches, and this is the first one I have made into a card:


I frayed the edges and added to the card that came with the kit. I then added a peel-off word and a flower sticker.
