Jingle Belles Challenge wants to see houses on our Christmas cards. I used a stamp I haven't used for many years (2018, in fact - I checked my blog) so I'm taking it to the Neglected Stuff Challenge as well.
Stamped and coloured (with coloured pencils), trimmed with a lacy-edged die, green shimmer cs placed behind it, and popped up on fun foam. Finished off by going over the snowy roofs and ground with a glue pen and adding glitter.
And for the Festive Friday Challenge (I chose horses, black, and white from their list of elements for National Chess Day).
Usually when I use this stamp, I colour the horses in but I left them black and white for the challenge. I added red to their Santa hats, trimmed with a stitched rectangle die, and bordered with a matching red. I added a bit of white fun flock to the brims and pom pom of their hats.

I love the sweet little house in those lovely colours Susan and the lace edged die backed with that winter green is s, and this is a wonderful image of the two horses and looks great left in black and white with just that great pop of red from the Santa hats and a lovely idea to add the fun flock to them. x
ReplyDeleteI have those houses too and only used them just the other year, but they are so sweet on your card. Great horse card too.
ReplyDeleteI've missed out on some great cards you've posted. I love the sympathy card and bird nest cards and the fun stockings. These houses with sparkling roofs is so pretty and I love the horses all decked out for Christmas.
