Three more cards for challenges about to close - all Christmas this time. First up for 52 Christmas Card Throwdown "Slimline":
I put the stamp in my MISTI and inked it up with Inktense watercolour pencils, spritzed lightly with water, and stamped on watercolour paper. I stamped the sentiment in red and sponged a bit of Distress Pumice Stone along the bottom edge. Trimmed the panel and bordered it with red cs.
The Penny Black Saturday Challenge wants to see Four-legged Friends.
Stamped and coloured with coloured pencils, trimmed, added to a red card base, and embellished with small die cut snowflakes.
And lastly for the ABC Christmas Challenge "F is for Foliage" and "G is for Gems":
I made a thin circle out of scrap green cs using two circle dies, then punched many little pine branches out of scraps of dp (mostly pieces that had images of grass or leaves on them). I glued them onto the die cut circle, added it to the background square of dp, and bordered with a square of red cs. Finished with a small die cut sentiment in the middle like the inspiration image has and red gemstones for berries. It's not the quickest card to make but I really like the final results.

Three beautiful cards Susan. LOVE the idea of colouring the stamp with watercolour pencils and spritzing. I have not done that before and must try it out! :) Great colouring of your sweet tobogganning mouse. That is such an adorable image! And LOVE the beautiful layered wreath. It is gorgeous! xx
