It's been one of those weeks...

...you know; the type where you seem to chase your own tail for ever and get nowhere LOL

Well yesterday, was a crafting day...I didn't get a huge amount done but it was fun being with a group of fellow crafters and there weren't any distractions like the ones that normally occur at home - phone ringing, housework to do, the ironing pile making you feel guilty...

I have been playing with Ignacio's fabulous Christmas design set but so far I've coloured the images.

This is the set that I've been using...

...and you can find them here.

Now I have loved colouring the images but I wanted to try just using the grey-scale and just print them out in black & white - well that was my intention but as you can see...

 ...a splash of red managed to find its way in. (Sorry about the glare but the lights were catching the foiling and the shiny surface of the card).
The detail on this image is amazing so I was going to leave it completely un-coloured...

...but as you can see - I decided to give Santa a touch of red using a soft red colouring pencil.
Postal costs here in the UK have become very expensive so I didn't want to add too much bulk to the card...

...and to be honest, with the pattern on the base CS I don't think it really needs anything else.

This is just one of the fabulous sets of images that you can find over at the Nicecrane Design site and if you drop by the blog too you will see lots of wonderful inspiration from the DT...............................
