My first card was inspired by Rita's fab penguin card (this week's featured stamper over at Splitcoast). I used a load of Eat Cake Graphics penguin stamps for mine ....
5074-E Looking up penguin
5075-D Sliding penguin
5076-E Left foot up penguin
5077-D Right foot up penguin
I used a promarker to colour my BG, but didn't have any black markers for my penguins so used a pencil instead. Liquid white enamel dots for snow. Clear gloss and glitter added to their beaks and feet for some sparkle.

My second card was inspired by Muse Christmas Visions and the beautiful card by Chriss.
My stamp is an oldie from Art Gone Wild (I think). I coloured my poinsettias pink with my watercolour pencils and added some pink and green splatters to the background. Pink stickles for the flower centres. Simon Says Stamp sentiment die, cut from silver card.

I'm envious of your Christmas cards. They're great, and you must have quite a stash by now. I did make ONE the other day. Will blog about it at some point, but I am still far, far behind, and it doesn't look like I'll have any time to make any in the near future. I think I'll be scrambling like maqd come November.
ReplyDeleteAwwww.....you've been busy again, dear friend! Loving those sweet penguins, and wowzers, those poinsettias are lovely!
ReplyDeleteThis card is really gorgeous! You did a fabulous job of coloring those poinsettias and the arrangement is just perfect. Thanks for sharing it with us at Addicted to Stamps and More challenge blog--please join us again soon!
