Are you a town mouse or a country mouse?

Well, I’m a bit of both – I’m definitely not a City mouse though! 😉

Miri has a lovely dare up on the Daring Cardmakers blog this week asking just that question. I don’t like being in remotely isolated spots, but I’m not one who could survive in really crowded and noisy cities. I like the comfort of living near a town and with views of the countryside just around the corner. Yes, the perfect spot to enjoy a happy medium!

Paper: Pink Fresh Studio
Sequins: Jillibean Soup

Card | Pinkfresh Studio Gifts of Love

In an attempt to make a little headway with my Christmas card production backlog, I’ve gone for a very simple make using some great papers from Pink Fresh Studio that are a couple of years old now. These papers have some great little scenes on them plus other prints that are really bold, so just the addition of a sequin here and there provides the final finishing touch. At last a flat-ish card for sending in the post. I may need to do some more 1-layer cards this year as postage is just so expensive once the 3D foam tape comes out!

Don’t forget to check out the wonderful makes over on the Daring Cardmakers blog this week!

Happy crafting!

    You describe a perfect mix! Enjoying country life but living close enough to a town to enjoy shopping and other great opportunities.
    Your Christmas card is great! I love the bright papers and the bold pattern and large prints!
