Today's efforts



Well today I made a bookmark for a swap I'm in on a UK forum. So until it gets to it's destination, I'd better not show it.
Instead I'll post the Christmas cards I've made so far in January. Hoping to get some made every month. Maybe this will stop my last minute rush that happens every Christmas. lol
Don't know who owns the original sketches, thank you to them.

Dad's birthday card


After I had finished the 'warm hello' card, I was wondering what to do with the 'D' I had embossed with Opals for my Dad's birthday. He's into fishing so wanted to do something along those lines. I had made a card last year that I hadn't been happy with so I decided to rip into it and salvage what I could, which was the stamped image. Originally I was just using the blues colours but searching through my ribbons, came across this gorgeous grosgrain which was perfect. All I had to do was to add some brown into the card. I diecut some corners, added another oval layer and a knot of ribbon. Hey presto, it worked!! Dad's birthday card.

I'm over the moon with this card and think it looks great. What do you think?
Edited to add, if this is someone's sketch, thank you so much.
