Oh what a wonderful workshop this morning.

Tulip and Friends came to life on the two lovely cards made using the new square stamps from Papermania.
Tulip Christmas is a wonderful collection of beautifully illustrated festive scenes and icons with that exceptional Andrea Jayne Evans style

The above card works well with Contempory colours and a Snowflake background paper in a subtle blue.It doesn't realy show in the picture, but the Snowman has been decoupaged to give dimension.


This card is in bold colours which gives impact.Reds and Blacks work well together.An X-cut Dielicious Die has been used for the shaped topper,stamped and the edges have been finished with Gliter Glue to give a bit of bling.
