Cupcake craft 172: don' look at the light - shiny stuff - sparkles, shine, glitter - the last three cards

I've been busy ...

... making lots more Christmas cards and still no time to blog them. I've managed to make forty in the last couple of days.

I thought it was about time I stopped and showed some of what I've been doing, so here goes.

Because I've needed to get a lot of cards done in a short time I decided to use a favourite Tin can mail stamp several times. To save time colouring in I stamped with memento cocoa bean on to various Basic Grey papers to give a bit of variation of colour. So I'm submitting these for Basic grey 59: anything goes.

The first three cards have the image stamped on to BG porcelain, with backgrounds of porcelain and also strips of My Mind's Eye paper:

For the next card the image is stamped on to a piece of BG pyrus and the background is pyrus and a strip of MME paper:

The next two cards feature BG cappella papers and Tim Holtz tissue tape (the second one has some MME paper too):

The image is stamped on to BG Indian summer for the next card and the background paper is DCWV:

For the next card the image was stamped on to a piece of BG lily kate; the background is a piece of card that was given to me and the ribbon with gems was from Hobbycraft. This card is for Paper pretties Monday challenge: use ribbon, Inky impressions 36: use ribbon, Timbro scrap mania 38: bow, Pretty little ribbon shop 5: Christmas with a bow:

BG urban priarie was used for the background of the stamp on the next card - background a mixture of the same star card as above and some more MME paper, with the addition of some Anna Griffin stitched ribbon:
