Such a lovely silhouette flower on top of your stencilled background. I am minded to get my own set out and play!

what a cute Santa and so well colored. the strip of houses make a nice background and the start out front adds so much. Thanks for sharing this fun card with us over at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown. Smiles, Kathy
Love your pink stenciling, what a neat way to make a grid background. Very pretty card! Thank you for sharing with us at Krafty Chicks.
This hexagon masked shape with the added stencil detail looks great Kathy, and the black silhouette flower and sentiment finish it beautifully, and the second card with the jolly and prettily coloured Santa looks even more interesting with the addition of the terrific strip of washi tape and also the bright yellow star, and lots of wonderful sparkle on the Santa and the star..a brilliant card! x
such a cute card ,thank you for playing along with the sketch challenge at the 52 Christmas card throwdown challenge
Both cards are a delight .I love the crisp simple designs .I think that they say to me that sometimes less is more . Love the clever coloured hexagon shape for a splash on white background with a flower silhouette. The Christmas card design is another bold example of simplicity . Love the Washi strip and cute Santa image .Must visit again soon .
Both are fabulous cards, love your stenciled background on the first one!

Such an awesome idea with the houses on the strip and with The Santa in front. Love that you decorated the envelopes too. Thank you for playing along with our sketch at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown.
