Sentiment Sticker with Snowflakes and the Sport of Show Jumping

First up for Jingle Belles - use Christmas stickers, whether images or sentiments.  The challenge reminded me that I have a lot of stick-on sentiments that I never use so pulled them out of a dusty drawer and used one on this card.

I used a round gelli plate, various snowflake stamps, and various shades of blue ink for the background.The gold snowflakes were stamped and heat embossed once the gelli plate print was dry.  I used a gold sentiment sticker to tie in to the gold snowflakes.  I must remember to use those stickers more often!

And then a non-Christmas card for The Sisterhood of Crafters "Sports".   I went with the sport of show jumping!

 

 

The image is by a well known British cartoonist, Thelwell, who did wonderful cartoons of very naughty ponies and small children.  

 

It's stamped and coloured with coloured pencils, and then I added Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the water the pony is about to jump into (or the child is going to fall into!).  I've stamped Happy Birthday inside it and I'm giving it to a good friend who is an avid rider.
