brown and cream christmas x 5

Good evening all.i hope you are all well.finally have my cards to share with you.
waited ages for my stickles to dry and in the end i bobbed em on top of the radiator to speed em up a litttle.i found it really hard to make them flat cards too, my fingers kept trying to get the foam pads.
very photo heavy post this one, so a big thankyou if you manage to get to the end .lol.
i am entering these cards into the following challenges:
1.moving along with the times challenge - challenge 127 - last minute christmas
2.stampin for the weekend - challenge 22 - christmas

products used for all are:

scenic stamps i have had for ages and no longer have their names so no idea who they are by
flexmarkers linen and nutmeg used to add a little shading
stickles stardust
papermania sentiment
crafts too embossing folder
go create circle dies.
right will leave to you look at tthe pics now.










and there you have it.

glorious collection - yummy paper and I love just the sepia/brown ink vintage look.

Such a good idea when you are on a roll to make several in the same design. I wish I could do that! :)
I know what you mean about making them flat too, and also waiting for stickles to dry.... most of my blog pics have wet stickles! ;)
