Happy Xmas

Hi crafters!  I let my inner grunge out a little bit on this one!  The Ransom Xmas die is on offer during this post.  Shown here, I have used it against a background of our Rust and Patina kits to give a rustic, masculine look to the card.  I think this one will work perfect for those friends that just aren't into the pretty or fussy sort of cards, don't you?  You did see this die earlier in the launch used with the dove in a completely different styled card.  It really does hold it own in either sort of style too.  I would love to see your comments and you might just win a die too!  I will be back at 3pm  with the final post of the day.  All for now, Sue x

    Afternoon Sue. Yes I like this because I can't see anything too much grunge like, if you've added cogs then I need an eye test lol. Yeah I like this font Sue. Have a nice afternoon and I'll check in later 😊 xxx

    Good to see it used with the industrial chic die, and yes, I have a couple of friends who wouldn't want fussy , very useful. Could easily be jazzed up as well, though.
