Batch maker, batch maker

Guess what I made for today? Yes, Christmas cards!
I know I'm doing a lot of these but I need a lot.


These are eight cards of the same design, but are not identical.
I started by stamping one version using a selection of small stamps from the stash and a few different colours of ink.


I heat embossed the large Christmas word from Crafti Potential, using gold embossing powder.  I then randomly stamped around the edge of the word to create a border.


To finish I added a raised sentiment in a bright red card.  I liked the original but when it came to making more I decided that I needed a lot more interest in the background.


This time instead of four stamps, I used seven! I think it adds more depth to the border and makes it more interesting.  What do you think?


To finish off I added each panel to a DL size card base and added the red 'Merry' to complete the sentiment.
I'm really pleased with these and I've made several version on this theme.  I'll share those another time.
