2 Crafty - Christmas Cards

I always love to get a bit of a jump on my Christmas Cards and when I saw these cute 2 Crafty Retro Christmas Trees - I knew that they would be perfect to use on a couple to use later this year!


Both the cards I made features pattern paper leftover from a 6 x 6 Basic Grey paper pad that I picked up last year and used for most of Christmas Cards in 2009.


As usual, I couldn't resist adding a little hand stitching to define the inside of the pattern paper printed frame.

On the second tree I used my Lyra Aqua Colours and my water brush to colour the tree green and once dry, I simply added some cream KaiserCraft Pearls to decorate some of the branches.


Here's a little close-up of the second card too!


If you haven't taken a peak at the terrific range of 2 Crafty products that Scrappit has in stock, make sure you do - I can't wait to get creative with the Corner Flower Sprays & the Birds in a Tree sets that I recently purchased too!
