Hi! Another Christmas card. This is for a friend of mine who lives near the coast at Eastbourne so I think she will find it amusing. I have just realised that I have omitted to colour the robin on the snowman's hat! Just as well I saw it now before I sent it!
Click on image to enlarge picture.
The Beach Hut stamp and the Christmas Sentiments stamp are both from Little Claire Designs, coloured with promarkers and matted onto gold mirri. The sentiment is stamped in gold ink, although it doesn't look it in the picture. Maybe it is the light reflecting off the mirri. The design paper and ribbon are both Papermania's Home For Christmas. I've kept it very flat because it is going in the post and I don't want to have to pay even more, especially when there are so many. It never seems quite right when there is no dimension to the card but needs must, I'm afraid.
Well, a very quick post today. Hope you all have a good day.
Love from Christine xx

Good Morning Christine,
This is amazing, so different, beautifully coloured. A "Snowman" at the "Beach Huts" what a fantastic idea for someone who lives near the coast. Your friend just has to LOVE this.
Have a Great Day
