Christmas Post Box


 I'm back again with my second DT card for today, this one is for our July Challenge at 

Crafty Calendar

our fabulous sponsor for this month is Sheepski Designs, the theme is Add A Sentiment.

 I chose to use a lovely traditional image, Christmas Post Box , which I enjoyed colouring with  my markers, and inserted into a simple die cut and embossed frame.

There's more inspiration over at Crafty Calendar so please do hop over and see what my teamies have been up to this month, you can join in with anything you choose as long as you add a sentiment.

Thanks for visiting today

Chris

Lovely clean cut lines to the Christmas card Chris, the Robin really pops against the white. The second one is very magical and what a lovely shape as well.

It's delightful how you've highlighted the charm of the traditional Christmas Post Box image with your marker coloring skills. The simple die-cut and embossed frame beautifully accentuates the festive spirit of the card, making it a heartfelt addition to your holiday creations.

I love a robin on a card and this one is so very sweet and your lovely framing really completements it too.

It's hard to beat a traditional scene for Christmas Chris and I love the way the colours make this one pop right off the beautiful white frame and embossing. Just perfect!

Yikes! Two Christmas cards at once Chris.
LOve this scene with snow cascading.
LOve your 'overspill' too.
