Can't you tell I have free time?

So here are two more cards I made last night, its shocking what being unemployed does for your crafting time! lol! I mean, don't get me wrong, I love being able to settle down and make cards and know that I don't have a report to type up or anything else, but really...... I want a job! sadly museums are all in a budget freeze and christmas jobs are thin on the ground....But enough of the moaning! The first card I did was using an image I was kindly sent and its probably one of the most simple layouts i've done in a very long time.

So the question is - does simple work? image is a PB coloured with watercolour pencils; backing papers, gems, ribbons, peel off are all from stash.

The second of my cards is a none traditional colour schemed christmas card. It was inspired by some papers I've had for a couple of years and I thought it was about time I did something with them so this is what I came up with.

The image was another I was kindly sent - love this little fellow- and was coloured using watercolour pencils and highlighted with my whisper pens. The wording on the right side is from a cuttlebug embossing folder and cut out, double mounted. All papers, ribbons, gems and buttons are from the stash.

All comments are welcomed. Thank you for looking.

Take care and Happy Crafting x
