Hand cut Christmas

The DCM challenge is set by Tracie this week and she's asked us to include some hand cutting on our cards. I had a total nightmare day yesterday where my mojo definitely left home but I managed this today. Not quite sure about it but I guess it's OK.



Tree was hand drawn and cut from a piece of thick card (back of a notebook) then covered with white core card and distressed. The big M and C were hand drawn and cut and the rest of the greeting stamped with alpha stamps and snipped into random shapes. I added a bit of inking and gel pen detail, a snippet of cuttlebug textured card, a star brad and a piece of ribbon to finish. Oh, and some piercing, of course ;o)

    Fab card.
    Everytime I come on here & see the angel I remember my sister's wedding day. She lives in Newcastle now & married in Langley Castle, Hexham. I was photographer one year ago last month...how the time flys.

    these naughty AWOL mojos need a severe talking-to! Maybe mine's gone off to play with yours 'cos it's def gone missing!

    However it looks as though you've reined yours back in because this card is a beaut!
