Sending Christmas cheer

I don't usually make batches of cards that are virtually the same (except when I make packs to sell for Tearfund), but time was running out and I needed to make another five cards, so I used the lovely Papermania bauble decoration stamp inking it up with versamark and heat embossing with detail silver on to navy blue card which was then mounted on to silver mirri card and mounted on to a lighter blue base card. You'll notice that one of the cards has a different greeting stuck over where the others are stamped with 'Christmas cheer' - this is because the stamping was a bit feint so I decided to cover it up.



These are for:

Colour create 86: blue and silver with the option of embossing (I used heat embossing)
Papercraft star 75: a bell or an ornament
CCEE 1150: Christmas ornament
Glitter geeks 28: anything goes

Prairie fairy Fridays 68: holly jolly Chrisstmas (no red or green)
Stampin' with the dagon: Christmas bling
Drunken stampers 80: glittery holiday
