Sorry More Christmas Cards...

My eldest monkey has been at his friend's house playing today and I have been getting creative making a couple more Christmas cards. I was supposed to be ironing but hey ho ;-)

I would like to enter this Tilda card into the following challenges:
Paper Cutz - Challenge 56, Metal (I used a brad and a charm)
Totally Stampalicious - Texture-Licious (my textures are the doily and distressed paper edges)


Supplies:
Image - Lady Tilda by Magnolia from Crafty Ideas by Kaz coloured with Promarkers
Papers - MME Merry Days of Christmas and the text paper is an old one by Making Memories
Doily - Joanna Sheen
Sentiment - MME Merry Days of Christmas tag
Brad - from stash
Charm - Pink Gem Designs tied with embroidery thread
Tools - scissors for distressing, I went a bit distressing mad with this card!!!

This next card is for the latest Penny Black at Allsorts challenge where the theme is Glitter and Glitz. I don't have many Penny Black stamps but saw this one online recently and had to have it as it's so cute. My Glitter and Glitz is from Frosted Lace Stickles on the image and Glimmer Mist sprayed on the ribbon.

Supplies:
Image - Caroling Trio by Penny Black from Crafty Ideas by Kaz coloured with Promarkers and Frosted Lace Stickles
Paper - Eskimo Kisses by Basic Grey
Cardstock - Bazzill Basics
Ribbon - from stash spritzed with Glimmer Mist
Poinsettia - Papermania
Brad - Joanna Sheen
Gems - Hero Arts
