Full Bloom Christmas

Just sharing a few cards I made this week…
I love Christmas and I love Christmas cards, but I make very few these days. This year I decided to make a few to send to family and special friends, so I dusted off my ‘C’ stamps, glitter and dies and made these.
Once I’d made a few Christmas cards, I needed to kick back and do something for fun, so I grabbed a square of card from my ready cut basket and smooshed some Oxides in greys and pinks. I had no idea there was a Faux Batik image on that piece of card, so I was pleasantly surprised when my favourite fuchsia stamp appeared...and just added more stamping to complete it.
CAS Watercolour have a Thank you challenge at the moment, so I made this…using embossing resist, to qualify for the CAS Mixup challenge. Not sure it’s very CAS, though… I used Inktense pencils for the wash.
Words 2 Craft By have a Blessings Challenge, so thinking of that, I made the following two cards using backgrounds and images from my stash. I was too late for the challenge, drat
There’s a ‘B for…’ Challenge at SSS Mondays and I’m also linking to the following challenges…

A fabulous selection of cards Cath, love the subtle background on the one for FSC and I can imagine it will shimmer.
Thanks for sharing with us at Fashionable Stamping challenges, Avril xx
Great cards aa always Cath. I love the die of the nativity scene. I like both 'deer' cards but the bottom one is lovely and has a misty quality about it which appeals to me.
Great watercolour wash and fabulous lettering which is all it needs with that super background.
Love the mice and the birds - funnily enough my crazy birds have put in an appearance this week and I so enjoyed them - might even start some "C" cards for next year now.
Hugs, Neet xx
A very nice winterly card, I especially like the background.
Crafty Hugs and a peaceful Christmas.
