More Christmas of course! Today I'm using a new stamp on my first card and a very old stamp on my second one!
First for the Double D challenge "Oh Deer". They have a lovely mood board (see below) and I chose the upper left image of the spotted fawns to inspire me to choose the stamp I used:
I just love the Anita Jeram stamps from Colorado Craft Co. so am buying a lot of her Christmas designs. Since it's a new stamp that I hadn't yet inked up, I'm linking it at NBUS as well.
Watercoloured, trimmed with a pierced dot die, layered over copper shimmer cs, with glitter added to the snow lines and on the tree branches.
My second card is for Shopping Our Stash "Embossing Wet or Dry". I went with an embossed background and one of the stamps I bought in my early years of card making.
I created an embossed script background with cream shimmer cs for my focal panel of a stamped and watercoloured image of a chickadee and greenery. I die cut the image with an oval die cut and also die cut a red oval border.
