Rudolph Days

Wow the months are certainly whizzing by, I can't believe that we are almost at the end of August already. My cards below are made for the Rudolph Days challenge using some Lili Of The Valley stamps. These were a gift from a friend who had visited a Car Boot sale, saw these and bought them for me. There are about 20 stamps in all, many never used. About half of the stamps are Christmas stamps, so they were the perfect choice to use this month.

I've used small square card bases for the cards and backing papers from  Crafters Companion snowman CD for the top 3 cards. The stamped images were coloured with pencils.

 I used a spellbinders die to cut the images, then drew around the same die and cut out by hand for the matting. All of the sentiments are made using Lili Of The Valley stamps from my stash and these are also mounted on a spellbinders shape.

For this bottom card I used a sheet of paper from a Bebunni  paper pad also by Crafters Companion. I also cut this image out using a Nellie Snellen die. The small poinsettia flowers are made using a Marianne die set.

As I made 2 cards using each image I have another 8 cards to add to my stash.

Thanks for taking the time to look and your kind comments which are always appreciated.
