Seeing your beautiful cards, think it's time to pull it out! Love the inking of the trees instead of the background. It really DOES look like trees in a snowstorm and the soft colors are fabulous. The last one I just love- the Joy one! It has a bit of a rustic feel to it and I just love that! You sure have been busy!

Blue sky, which shines through between the tree trunks. In the second card, drifting snow has largely reduced the visibility. Brrrr, well, that we have almost summer and the winter is only a vague memory. The third card are recognized gorgeous colors and rich gold. The last card I love the embossing background and delicate coloring ink. The effect is stunning.<br />hugs,<br />BozenABożenAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07430241567078687047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9028799397835917329.post-73629221692078744552016-06-05T14:21:17.591-04:002016-06-05T14:21:17.591-04:00Hi Mary, here's me playing catch up because I ...Hi Mary, here's me playing catch up because I was out yesterday. My goodness you've certainly been busy. Four really lovely cards and including some of your pretty cardinals.<br /><br />I especially love the cards with the birch tree embossing folder. You really cracked that. They give a really great effect. I really like the Brusho background on your with the gold on. It looks really rich and the last card has a lovely icy look to it. You're certainly getting ahead with Christmas cards. Great makes Mary.

Great use of twine and 4 fantastic cards closer to getting them Christmas cards ready! <br /><br />So sorry my visits have been a bit irregular lately, MIL was here 5 nights from mid May, the following weekend my parents spent with us in Oslo and have just now completed a trip to celebrate hubby's sisters' (twins) 50th birthday. 1000 km driving in two days. Weekdays spent at work and outdoors. Soon going on holiday, but things will get back to normal again in July:) I'll be around as much as I can for the rest of this month.Pia Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17060684063741385838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9028799397835917329.post-14975019663841344882016-06-05T08:34:54.343-04:002016-06-05T08:34:54.343-04:00Your cards are gorgeous!!Your cards are gorgeous!!Marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09712163979504699917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9028799397835917329.post-58655650951364156542016-06-05T08:29:32.585-04:002016-06-05T08:29:32.585-04:00Wow!
