Heidi's Rocker:  Stef has used texture and heat embossing to enhance her adorable bunny Christmas card. I love the gold embossing around the embossed snowflake background. I love the fussy-cut image of “Santa Bunny”. He has been beautifully coloured and lifting him up from the background with Dimensionals really puts him in the spotlight. Very nicely done.

Pat

Cathy's Rocker:  Pat has watercoloured the floral wreath beautifully and I love the gold framing and added pearls.

Karen Dunbrook

Tristan's Rocker:  I love the blending of those blues and purples via the gelli plate on Karen’s card and then to lift the colour and add those white dots just finished her card perfectly.
