I'm a big fan of the original Penny Black Christmas stamps with the adorable animals in them. So chose one of them for the Penny Black Saturday Challenge "Christmas". I'm also adding it to ABC Christmas Challenge "Y is for Your Choice" and Sweet Stampin' "Christmas".
Stamped, watercoloured, trimmed with a stitched square die, bordered with gold cs, and added to an off-white card base.
My Time to Craft Christmas wants a Happy New Year card. Here's mine:
I started with my top layer. I die cut the large star and stamped and heat embossed the sentiment, then trimmed with a stitched square die, and then dry embossed with a little narrow star embossing folder. I taped a small square of starry holographic paper on the card base and then popped up the top panel on foam tape over top of it.
It's also going to the NBUS challenge as I've never used the narrow star embossing folder or the holographic star dp before.

Stamps - Penny Black, unknown "joy"
Ink - Versafine Onyx Black
