Decoupage donkeys!

I made another Katy Sue image 2023 Christmas card which was hand delivered to a friend who loves horses. I thought these donkeys were really cute, even though they aren't exactly show jumpers:

I used:

- 5.5" x 4.25" white card blank

- a backing piece of Tonic 'Firestone Red' mirror card 

- then the decoupaged image - the dark line above the robin shows the shadow from one of the umpteen layers 

- the double layered sentiment in 'Firestone Red' mirror card was made using a Tonic Studios 'Mini Moments Merry Christmas' die

- final touch was a 'stamp' on the envelope, from the same Katy Sue decoupage set

I'm posting these on here for the record - this next Christmas I may do it all again and just make sure that different friends receive different cards. Me not totally daft!

    Oh that is a beautiful Christmas card Di.

    I know someone who loves donkeys specifically and that card would’ve been perfect for them. X

    Hi Di,
    yes this is such a very wonderful card and the image of those Donkeys is gorgeous and so sweet.
    All finished off perfectly with the red mirri matt layer and that cute sentiment.
    Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
