May Rudolph Days

I was thrilled when earlier this year Maureen asked me if I would join the DT over on the Rudolph Days Challenge. Today is my first time and for my card I have used an older stamp from Chocolate Baroque. I stamped onto stamping card and then coloured with pencils, using just two shades of green and two shades of red with a yellow for the star on the top.  This pile of presents has been stacked to look like a Christmas tree and I've used traditional colours for them.



 Of course I made more that one while I had the stamp out and have added them to my growing collection. Please don't think that I send out piles of Christmas cards each year, I also make cards for my Mother and my Father-in-law to send too.


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

By using the two,shades of the colours it makes it look like the card has more content. Very pretty. Hugs Mrs A.

Oh Sue, these are so gorgeous.

I really screwed up this month. I just released the post...so late but better late than never.

I am just a week away from my surgery...finally. I am a little wonky with painkillers as I overdid it a bit and went out and met with Darnell and Loll and Susan and many more ladies. They rented a house and had a week long crop. I met them for lunch on the last day. But my knee does not like bending so had little sleep for a couple days after.

Will post photos in the next couple of days.

Thanks for joining us on the design team. You are so appreciated!
