Good afternoon lovely peeps!
Seeing lots of Christmas Cards appearing on blogs has made me think I really need to knuckle down & make a start on mine! When I began crafting I thought people were bonkers making Christmas cards in the Summer but obviously experience has taught me the need for this, & I love creating Christmas cards anyway so today I'm making a start!

I thought I'd try something different this week & created a card which is all monochrome except for the flowers & leaves. I've have stamped & masked several of the images from the Newton Nook's Garden Whimsy stamp set to create a cute garden scene.
I've started to list individual copics in my Inlinkz at the end of my post so you will be able to find my copic colours in there from now on. As I've used mainly grey's & you may not be able to distinguish which are which from my photos the cute characters & plant pots have all been coloured in cool greys, & the fence has been coloured with toner greys.
As always our lovely Heidi is sponsoring our challenge with a $50 voucher for the fabulous
