A Christmas Carol for the CCC!

Hello Everyone, Storm Denis is here!!!, nothing for it but to be indoors, crafting and watching Lord of the Rings which I love.
Anyhoo, it's time for the  Christmas Card Club girls to show off their creations once again, it's been a quick two weeks since the last one.

So it's our lovely Christine who as chosen the theme this time and it's A Christmas Carol, here's what I've come up with. My interpretation of the theme is carol singers;
Card-io stamps for this DL card, as you can see one of the panels has carol singers, lots of glitter and white pen for snow, sentiment from Lawn Fawn.

Hobby Art for this cutie called Jasper, singing his little heart out. Coloured with Copic Markers. Sentiment one of my freebies from Creative Stamping Magazine. WoS and green glitter card, a few clear gems for some twinkle.
I hope they will do Christine, I did enjoy the challenge a fun one to do.

Well the rain is battering down at the moment and it's so dark, having to put lights on to see.

Thank you for your comments on my last card, and I have to say, Alistair loved his card. we went out for a Valentine Day lunch which was lovely, even more lovely that I didn't have to cook at night lol.

Do check out what the other girls of the club create, they always make fabulous cards.
That's me for now, off to fantasy land with Frodo,

Good Morning Kate. Two Fantastic cards I may say. Love the carol singers as it just looks so beautiful, the lovely little carol singer is also a cute card and I can see how you loved him. just getting over a really bad bout of Vertigo, like being in a cyclone and cant get off. Hugs from me. Rita xxxx

Two fabulous cards for my challenge and I love the carol singing take on the challenge. I think I can hear Jasper from here - or maybe it's just Storm Dennis doing his worst! The trees are certainly doing a lot of swaying! Take care and keep warm and safe. Hugs Christine xx

Love your first card using the small stamps and the second one made me smile. Wonder what he is singing. Rain is bucketing down here so staying well indoors and raiding the freezer for lunch. hugs Mrs A.

Hi Kate, two fabulous cards, both very different. Love
them both. The background scene on your first card is
great, just perfect for the carol singers. Your second
card brought a smile to my face....Jasper is super cute.
Hope you stayed safe and warm during this bad spell of
weather and no damage has been done. We have been very
lucky indeed, compared to some.
Love & Hugs Jennifer xx.
