Double Christmas

I actually have a decent stash of Christmas cards this year for the first time ever!!  Hopefully there's not going to be the usual last minute rush!

This first card uses an oldie from High Hopes that I haven't inked up for a while.  Coloured with polychromos; glitter added to his hat and skis; sparkle added to the green bits in his hat/scarf; gloss to his nose and glasses.  I added a little hint of purple to my shaded sky to pull in the colours of my snowdude.


This old DP set is from Stampin'Up and I find it so difficult to use, I never really love any cards I've made with it!! 
My image is a real old-oldie from Elzybells - I know I used it in 2010 and don't think he's seen ink since.  Unfortunately Elzybell's is long closed, they had some fab stamps ;(
I added some black glittery cardstock and some silver stars and that's it really!

These are both great Christmas cards, but that first one is just awesome! I think my favorite part of that image is the ski goggles. That bear is just a hoot, and I love how you pulled the colors together with your shading of the sky. Perfect!
