Two Christmas cards today.
For 52 Christmas Card Throwdown, the theme is "Critters". I chose a horse.
The image is stamped and then coloured with coloured pencils. To add some background colour, I used a simple bordering panel of red cs, and die cut the focal panel with a dotted rectangle that lets bits of the red show through. And then stamped the sentiment in red.
And for Can You Handle the Pressure, the challenge is "In the Sky" (anything you can find in the sky), I chose a dove and placed it against a snowflake embossed background.
I ran the focal panel through the embossing folder and then lightly rubbed a blue ink pad over the raised sections. I cut the dove and the sentiment out of a scrap of background I'd made using blue Inka Gold.
Supplies for card 1:
Stamps - Serendipity Clyde, Make an Impression sentiment
Ink - Versafine Onyx Black, ColorBox Chianti
Paper - white and red cs
Size - A2
Accessories - coloured pencils, Sizzix dotted rectangle die
Supplies for card 2:
Stamps -
Ink - Distress Broken Glass
Paper - white cs
Size - A2
Accessories - snowflake embossing folder, dove die, peace sentiment die, fun foam
I love this seasonal horse image Susan and the red mat and sentiment complement the image perfectly, and your second with blue ink highlighting the pretty snowflake embossing and the die cut bird and sentiment cut from a piece covered with Blue Inka Gold adds a touch of sparkle to it which looks great. x
