Default More Christmas Cards

Here are 4 more of the cards I'm doing for Christmas - I'm going to take a break from them and get back to some of the presents I still need to get done. These are all Susan's patterns from her Christmas packages on the website.

I think my favourite is the Wreath, maybe - not sure, but I think so.

Thanks for looking!

Lindy,
they are beautiful....simply elegant!!! Who ever receives one of these will treasure it for years. I just had a thought.... this type of technique could be used to make special book markers too.

Susan WOW! Thank you for your high praise! It lets me know I'm doing this right.

Mottles & Susie - thank you! Susie I do plan on taking the scraps of paper to make some bookmarks that after they're done I'm going to laminate, cut a hole in the top and attached a tassle *S*

IGOTWOOD - you can buy the paper at Michaels or any craft store. They sell it in booklets in the artsupples section. Vellum or Bristol is easily found there and you can use watercolour paper as well. I've even found some postcards in that section that as water colour paper which I plan on using too.

Thanks again everyone for looking and the support of your kindness.

Lindy

Outstanding ! It's a toss up as to which is the nicest.....they are all beautiful. I have to say though, the Santa and the Wreath do stand out from the others!

Ahhh...another 4 gems from the "Lindster". Those are truly beautiful, Lindy. I love them all and studied them closely....there is some subtlety about that candle that attracts me, though...something in the way it flows. Great job, as usual! Bonnie
