Three More Christmas Cards

There are still lots of Christmas challenges I want to link up to this month!

First of all, for Can You Handle the Pressure? "Dry Embossing with a Twist of Holly":

I used one of my very first embossing folders that has a swirly holly design.  It creates an ideal background for an older Penny Black stamp.  I inked it and the sentiment with a Kaleidacolor ink pad in various shades of green.  I popped the stamped panel up on fun foam and added red Stickles to the berries.

Second is a card for My Time to Craft Christmas "Elements Beginning with the Letter S".  I have snowflakes, Santa, and sleigh.

The background is a piece that I created when making a gelli plate print for a card I posted earlier (see this post for the earlier card).  I had a lot of blue acrylic paint left on the snowflake mask - before cleaning off the mask, I pressed it onto a piece of mixed media cs to use up the paint.  I added a die cut Santa and sleigh, and a narrow black border.

Lastly, for Festive Friday "Christmas Festive Food":

The challenge requires at least 3 things from their list - I have Christmas pudding, red, white, and brown.  The image is coloured with coloured pencils, trimmed with a Nordic frame, and bordered with dark red.
