Christmas Cards for Troops...

These are the Christmas cards I have made for the MSE Challenge of making cards for Bristish troops. I have tried to keep the cards reasonably 'flat' so they would be easy to post. I've used papers by Daisy & Dandelion, DCWV and Dovecraft. The Forever Friends bear images were bought on ebay - I LOVE them, the cute reindeer (named Dave!) was a freebie image from Pollycrafts and the boy pulling the sleigh was a new stamp purchase this week from Funky Kits, isn't he cute!!! If I have time I may make one or two more.

This reindeer was printed onto kraft paper and I printed the Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer song onto kraft paper too. I used this gorgeous freebie font on Pink Peticoat.






Added some dots of Icicle Stickles to resemble snow falling on these two cards.





This one is quite a small card but I think the Santa bear is very cute x
