I couldn't decide which of these two cards to post so I've posted both. The theme on the Bah Humbug challenge site this week is 'Presents' and as I hadn't used this Sarah Kay stamp so far this year I though I'd make two while I was at it. The bp is a freebie from the very generous Jak Heath - an A4 sheet but with the same A5 image in a slightly different shade each end of the design.. Just right for doing two A5 cards. One image has been stamped onto watercolour paper and the other onto smooth card. Both have been coloured with Lyra watercolours. The sentiment and parcel stamps are from the Crafters Companion Cute Companions Christmas range. The mirri card strip was punched with a Martha Stewart border punch and the oval mats and snowflake were punched from Wizard dies. The extra embellishments on the second card were part of some crafty goodies sent to me by Cynthia (aka Rainbow Lady) some time ago. I knew I'd be using them eventually.
Thanks very much for visiting today.

Lovely cards Beryl. I like them both. A nice image haven't seen that one before. Hugs x ChrisB
why choose when you can show 2 great cards, super mod Christmas girl.
I'm really tired now, been baking and soaking the dried fruits for 2 big Christmas cakes, Bob and I bake every year. Lovely with a glass of red.

Hi Beryl,
I was away for a couple of days last week and have had visitors staying since then so not been to visit you. You have posted some lovely cards while I've been 'offline' and these two are both great. Beautifully coloured images (I have that one) and I love the embossed snowflakes in the background.
Have you visited the EI blog since Sunday? You definitely need to, Lol! Congratulations!!
Hugs

Beryl,
What a cute Sarah Kay stamp and perfect for your "gifts" cards. Not sure which I like best...they both are so cute. I will have to put that stamp on my wish list.The BP is really nice with the snowflakes and the colors are soft and gentle. What is the name of the Martha Stewart punch you used and haven't heard of that brand of markers before? I don't recognize the punch and you know me...I love MS punches! LOL! Great cards. Thanks for sharing them with us all.
Love, Martha
oh wow!! these are just fab! Hugs Juls
