Two Christmas cards today. First up for Sparkles Christmas Challenge "Presents / Parcels":
The image is coloured with coloured pencils and then fussy cut and added to the background (gold spray on black cs), and bordered with gold shimmer cs. I stamped the sentiment directly on the card base but it was crooked so restamped it and punched it out and layered it over the crooked one.
Today's second card is for Christmas Cards All Year Round "Four Calling Birds - Four of Something or a Bird". I have four little cardinals.
I sponged the tiny snowflakes with blue ink through a stencil, and used the same ink to stamp a bit of random text. Then inked up the stamp with brown and red Tombow markers and stamped over the background. Finished off with the sentiment stamped in red and a bit of blue sponging around the edge of the panel. It's popped up on fun foam on a red card base.
