There are so many great challenges out there but sadly I miss some of the deadlines and then there are these where I just get a card posted in time.
For Christmas Cards All Year Round "Holiday Song or Carol", I chose O Little Town of Bethlehem:
Stamped, coloured with coloured pencils, and a strip of gold tape added down one side for a bit of embellishment.
The Christmas Kickstart Challenge wants "Christmas not as we know it" so I went with some very different looking snowmen:
My friend Bonnie kindly stamped off a few of this image and sent them to me. This is a variation on one I posted a couple of months ago. Stamped, watercoloured, bordered in black.
And a threefer today. Inkspirational wants a card for any of the seasonal holidays so I am posting a Hanukkah one for this one.
I created the focal image by stamping and heat embossing the menorah in silver and die cutting with a circle die. The background has a flourish and sentiment stamped and heat embossed in blue. I embellished with little silver jewel stickers on the flourish.

ReplyDeleteFirstly a belated Happy Birthday and I hope you had a lovely day Susan. These three cards are all so different but really pretty. I have this Woodware stamp myself, and I used it last year for some of my cards, and love the colours you have used, and then the fun and quirky snowmen made me smile, and the last Hannukkah card with the lovely Menora, and the blue flourishes make a great background. x
ReplyDeleteThree beautiful holiday designs Susan - love that Bethlehem village, so wonderfully colored, the cute row of snowmen and the lovely menorah on your silver and blue Hanukkah card! thanks for sharing it at Inkspirational: seasonal! Julia xx
ReplyDelete3 beautiful designs that all fit our seasonal theme. The Hanukkah design is different, I like how the background with sentiment and swirls look and the clean elegant feel to it all. Nicely done. Thanks for playing with us at Inspirational
