Santa Card, Green And Red

Here in Europe we don't think so much of Christmas in April.

and enjoy the beautiful spring that has come.

But today I made a Christmas card with traditional colours.

This guy in red has to wait some months

before he flies to his new home.

Tusen Takk Nr.3. CAS

Et nytt takkekort fra meg igjen i dag.

Jeg har en bestilling fra Norge, så det er bare å henge i.

Jeg synes det er veldig kjekt å få oppdrag fra hjemlandet mitt.

Stempler på norsk har jeg lite av,

så derfor blir det helst egne tekster eller digi-tekster jeg bruker.

"Tusen takk" er jo ikke den helt store utfordringen, forresten.

Siden jeg er en stor tilhenger av det helt enkle,

lot jeg også dette kortet være et typisk CAS-kort.

Jeg brukte:

Kort, størrelse A6, dyp rød farge.

Dette kortet er dobbelt.

Motiv: "Freesia" av Beccy, fargelagt av kunstneren selv.

Dies: Ramme og sirkel, begge fra Spellbinders.

Distress ink.

Maskin: Cuttlebug.
