2010 xmas cards

I couldn't bring myself to buy store bought cards since making them is so easy and so much fun!
A few simple ingredients meant a quick craft project and Christmas card problem solved. First part is a potato stamp with a random shape chosen, glitter and coloured, chopped foil....
using the stamp for shapes and as a kind of glue.....
and sprinkling the foil to decorate....
finished with a healthy dose of glitter...I must ensure the loose stuff is stuck down so when the envelope is opened, it doesn't look like out backyard did....heeellllooo sparkles!! I also made a simple illustrated version for 2010 which you can see here, so now I have two choices.....I had better hurry up and put them in the mail or they will be for 2011.......
