Card Making: Christmas

I started making my Christmas cards and in the first two I used the Stampavie Noel Fath and Noel Eve stamps. I wanted to focus on the images, so I kept the rest of the cards simple, I just used distress inks on the edges. The "Merry Christmas" is from a patterned paper, I made the bookplates from cardstock and heat embossed them with UTEE, then adhered the saying and added gold fibre but I didn't like it so I covered it with gold stickles. I also covered the brads with gold stickles.

Finally I added the tiny pearls after coloring them with copic markers to match the colors.

The result is cute and a little retro (I don't know how that happened!), but I think it suits the images.
