I was inspired to make some Christmas cards with this week's Less Is More challenge to use paper piecing. I combined some lovely patterned paper from Lawn Fawn along with Uniko's dove which is one of my fave stamps:
I silver embossed the dove on to patterned paper and the card base. I combined it with a sentiment from Clearly Besotted.
As I had paper left over I went with the same idea but used a banner die to create a bit of visual interest.
Finally, whilst I was playing with my Lawn Fawn paper I used it with this My Favourite Things Christmas die. Backed with acetate it is perfect for a shaker card. I added a Uniko snowflake in the middle. This is an easy make which would work in a heap of different colours.
I hope you like the blue and silver combo for Christmas!
Thanks for stopping by,
