Getting there

These are just a few of the Christmas cards I have been working on this afternoon. I have made 30 with about the same again to make. These are made from scratch, stamped and hand coloured, time consuming but I have enjoyed making them. These have been in progress for over a week. I now have the rest to start on, with at least 12 of them special nearest and dearest which take even more time.

I make it difficult for myself but I enjoy the challenge, I have never sent a bought card to anyone for over 34 years and I have to remember the ones I do send so as not to duplicate it the next year, sometimes I don’t succeed!
Colourful on black

Delightful and pretty Margaret , What a busy girl - I am sure they will be greatly appreciated - love them ! fav

Theses are so beautiful, and you put so much love into crafting them. I am sure the recipients will enjoy each and every one. I do hope you saved at least one of each over the years. My mother use to hand craft her cards to friends and family. I wish I had one today just to remember. There were no stencils then so each card was hand made though very simple.

These are wonderful! I would take a card class once a month and make six cards at each class. I am finally parting with them and my friends really do enjoy them.

These cards are coloured from digital images, not by me but by a very talented team who draw them for the crafters amongst us.
