Tis the season for cards.

 Are you a maker of cards? Do you make and send your own Christmas cards?

Well I guess you know I am. Some of my cards get sold and some go to friends and family. But I am never very good at doing it early. Often the start of December sees me just starting to make my seasonal cards.

Each year I do a variety of cards, some designs similar to previous years and some new designs. I often have a design that becomes my favourite to play with for that year. This year I have been playing with a forest background done with Distress inks and Oxides. It's a fun and versatile background to make a variety of cards.

Since I've finally been able to get back at teaching in the studio this year I've scheduled a few workshops with this technique. I can't wait to see what new twists my students will do with it.

Once we learn to create this forest background we will explore some techniques using die cutting, embossing powder and a few other surprises.

If you've been making your own cards I hope you'll share some pics of them in the comments. I'd love to see them.
