A very Bush Christmas cardmaking blog hop


Hello and Welcome to our December Crafting blog hop!!

We are a happy group of cardmakers who love to craft together!!  And we love to share with you too!


Our theme this month is a Bush Christmas


And I've used the lovely Magical Meadow stamp set to try and create some 'bushiness' for my Christmas star decorations.


The colours for the stamping are:  Old Olive, Mossy Meadow and Soft Sea Foam with Old Olive sponged over the top using a blending brush.  The colours for the whole card, I think, are very evocative of the Australian Bush - including the Poppy Parade card base and the teeny tiny Crushed Curry berries looking a little like gum blossoms.  


I've also die cut some extra greenery with one of the Magical Meadow dies and Old Olive.  I think the linen thread bows and strings for the stars make it look a bit more rustic for the Bush theme!!


Inside the card features the same 'bushy' stamping along with a few more die cut stars.  Did you notice the layer of vellum on the front and inside?  I love the soft effect it gives to the card!


Make sure you keep hopping to see lots of amazing projects for our theme!!
