Christmas cards received - part 1

Good afternoon everyone!

I have now photographed all the lovely Christmas cards I received & will put them here in a couple of postings - or possibly three.

I may add some comments where I think helps describe something about the card which is not always obvious in photos.

this is one of quite a few cards this year that were of single Christmas trees & this one has been gold embossed  Two of the designs I used were single Christmas trees & totally different to those I received.

The star in this one is hanging in the aperture which shows better when the card is stood up & you can see through the aperture.  I hope I do it justice when I say it has been stitched & threads are caught between two piece of white fabric

This sleigh has been gilded with the flakes

all three of these cards have lovely colouring work on them

There, that is the first group.  I may have time to put up another group later.  I will try as I am not sure I will have much time tomorrow as Bob & I are going to the village where his parents are buried to lay some flowers, & also to visit one of his sisters-in-law.  This will include going our for a meal with her as well.

I have also just entered my first blog challenge for 2012 - if you want to follow me in these challenges just pop over to my personal blog.

Enjoy your weekend.  'Bye
