I thought I'd make a couple of Christmas cards tonight, using a Lili of the Valley stamp from last year. Coloured with watercolour pencils. Wink of Stella added to the falling snow and drifts, and also to the ribbon. Clear gloss added to her glasses and to the falling snow. Dienamics embroidered frame die used on both.
CARD 1:(gold peel off sentiment from stash)
- Layout from Sketch Saturday #378
- Christmas at Sweet Stampin - festive decor
- NBUS #5 - new schtuff - my paper pad
- Christmas Stampin All Year Long #55 - anything goes
- Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - use a stamp
CARD 2:
(Paper Smooches snowflake die; old LOTV postmark sentiment)
- Layout from Friday Sketch challenge #100
- Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge #246 - festive trees
- Simon Says Stamp Monday - stamp and a die cut
- As You Like It - favourite die - mine is most definitely this Dienamics embroidered frame die, I have to stop myself using it on every card I make! The 'embroidery' edge gives just enough definition to the edges that I don't feel I need to mat the frame - cuts down on paper and weight for postage :)
- Christmas Stampin All Year Long #55 - anything goes
Both these cards are SO cute! You deserved that new Christmas paper, that's why it popped into your basket. And look at the gorgeous cards you made with it. Totally worth it!

ReplyDeleteChristmas Cuties are right! These are just too stinkin' cute. Perfect for the Sketch Saturday Layout this week. Glad you were able to join us and look for to more soon. Take care and good luck.
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable. This is just so darn cute. I love the image and your coloring is fabulous. As far as I'm concerned, you NEEDED this paper for this card to enter this challenge. That's all there is to it. You didn't want it, you needed it. Tell me I'm wrong, go ahead. ;) This is adorable and your layout is great accenting this cute LOTV image. GREAT card! Thanks for joining us at Christmas at Sweet Stampin'. Hugs, Gail
