Two mini slimline cards today, both on coloured cardbases. I enjoy making Christmas cards between Christmas and New Year as I'm still feeling in the Christmas mood and I always have lots of free time.
So here's one for Christmas Cards All Year Round "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" and Double D "Santa and / or Snowman". And for the NBUS Challenge (I've never inked up this stamp before and I've had it for quite a while). I'm also entering it in : Sweet Stampin' "Christmas", The Twelve Months of Christmas "Anything Goes Christmas", and The Christmas Kickstart Challenge "If It's Christmassy, Link It Up".
I used a Tim Holtz stamp I've had for ages and never inked up. Simply stamped and watercoloured and mounted on a blue shimmer card base.
For the Penny Black Saturday Challenge "Snow or Snowmen", I got out a Penny Black stamp I haven't used for ages. It's also for Cardz4Guyz "Christmas Critters".
Stamped, coloured with coloured pencils, trimmed and added to a tan card base, and embellished with a Gelly Roll Stardust pen on the snowflakes.
Supplies for card 1:
Stamps - Tim Holtz
Ink - Versafine Onyx Black
Paper - watercolour paper, blue shimmer cs
Size - 6x3.25"
Accessories - watercolour paints
Supplies for card 2:
Stamps - Penny Black
Ink - Versafine Onyx Black
Paper - off white and tan cs
Size - 6x3.25"
Accessories - coloured pencils, Gelly Roll Stardust pen
You made two great cards and I like them both. Santa on the rooftop is such a funny image!

I love these two images, and both beautifully coloured Susan. The first is a fun Christmas scene with Santa and his sleigh on the roof of the house, and then the series of snowies and the scowling snowman minus his hat and scarf and the dressed up self satisfied looking dog...lol...great Christmas makes. x
ReplyDeleteTwo great cards Susan, and Happy New Year to you xxx
ReplyDeleteNow I'm singing "Up on the rooftop" after seeing this cute card. That's a great image for a slimline and it's water colored so pretty. The snowmen and the dogs are so cute. That last snowman image made me laugh out loud. The look on his face! It's great to get a head start and be ahead of the rush. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely designs. Both so gorgeous. Thank you so much for joining our Christmas challenge at Sweet Stampin' and Happy New Year! Hugs, Wends xoxo Sweet Stampin' DT
