Hi friends! My collection of Holiday cards is growing and it's very fun that they're all so different. Our next card is from the October 12 Tags of 2015. I have been a fan of the wrinkle free distress techniques since Tim showed it many years ago. It's still a big favorite of mine. I use it over and over again and the results are always amazing!
12 Tags of 2015 / Holiday Cards Series #7
I know this isn't a zombie but these wings and tree are very dimensional just like the zombie. I just didn't think a santa hat would make the zombie look Christmassy enough. lol

I saw the wings card at Carson with Tim and the pictures don't do it justice. It is stunning in person. You are amazing.
These cards are amazing Richele! I love how you did the layering with the evergreen die. TFS!
Those cards are great. One nice thing is that they also don't look too overly fussy and time-consuming. I have really enjoyed this recent series.
Gorgeous cards!!! I am a big fan of you work and a follower:)

Oh no!! Now I 'need' (want) the wings die - your design using it is just superb - it really has the wow factor. The tree looks wonderful too but the wings have stolen my heart..... Anne x
