Going through my Kanban stash, I found this pretty Christmas tree with baubles and parcels in various shades of plum and purple. I mounted the cut image onto a gold doily - giving the impression of a multi-point star! I created the background by shading with distress inks leaving a softer colour towards the centre of the card. I stamped the holly branches in Crumb Cake to give a subtle pattern and finished off with a simple sentiment. I haven't done the inside yet!
I was having so much fun with these colours that I made another card!

I had some of this lovely gold foiled holly paper left from my card last week so decided to use it up. I cut a mat in Crumb Cake and adhered the holly paper. In my Kanban stash, I found this pretty decoupage image - the colours were perfect for the challenge and made another Christmas card for my collection. The greeting was part of the kit. As there was no stamping at all on the front of the card, I decided to decorate the inside. I used my new Waltzingmouse set, Yonder Star - it is simply so beautiful. I stamped the outline star in Crumb Cake and then stamped this fun sentiment - love the font! This is such a pretty clean and simple design that I'm going to use it on a set of cards.

What beautiful cards Deb - love the vintage images! So pretty!!!
sooo lovely! these are both sooo pretty, Deborah.
Both are very different interpretations of the colour scheme. The first is my favourite with the way you have stamped the background for it & that pointed star mounting works a real treat.

Both of these cards are beautiful Deb! Love the gold decorative doily on the first and the beautiful DP on the second!
Love how you use the Kanban papers! Your cards are both so delicate and pretty!
Well, look at you....two cards and I was stressing over the first (purple), LOL!! Love the papers- the gold foil holly is gorgeous and the "telescoping" image is perfect! Have a great week!
What lovely cards Deborah - I've never heard of Kanban cards - are these something you buy to use on cards??
They are both lovely cards Deb, but my favourite is the one with the cute, cute tree on.
Fantastic cards Deb! Loving the colors! Beautiful!
