Christmas Cuddles

Well, I thought it was about time I made a start on some Christmas cards, I have secured a table at the Christmas Fair that I usually sell at each year and I don't want to be in my usual mad rush.

This is a card that I have made with my favourite Christmas House Mouse Decoupage from Joanna Sheen:


I made several in this style last year and they sold really well, I can't remember where I got the idea for the snow at the base from - I think it might have been a magazine.

I have decorated the inside with an insert printed from Joanna Sheen's House Mouse Inserts CD and that is where the backing papers came from as well


This photograph shows the decoupage layers
