Penguin Present

I'm still making Christmas cards while I'm in the zone. Today's card I stamped and coloured my penguins with Copic markers. Die cut some DP to look like hills and a forest, then die cut my sentiment several times and layered to make it pop.

Santa's Sleigh

I'm still making Christmas cards while I'm in the mood, it will give me a head start for next year! I blended DO's to create a night sky, splattered some white Colour Mist to create stars then stamped some tree tops along the bottom of the card. I then stamped my reindeer, die cut Santa's sleigh, stamped Santa and his bag of goodies and coloured with Copics then fussy cut him out. I then put it all together, I drew my reigns on then die cut a sentiment in glitter red card.

To You and Yours

Another card created by blending DO's to create my background. I then spritzed it with water as well as Perfect Pearls. Stamped and coloured my baubles with Copics then added a bit of glitter around the edges. Stamped 'with love' on one bauble and a sub sentiment on black card. Added some sequins for added interest and mounted it all onto some silver glitter card to finish off.

From Our Family to Yours

I don't usually do 'cute' but I loved these little penguins from My Favorite Things and just had to have them. I also don't really do scene's with lots of masking so I am really stepping outside of my comfort zone here. Very happy with the end result, I used DO's for sponging the background and Copics for colouring my little friends.

I created today's card by blending DO's Tumbled Glass, Mermaid Lagoon & Salty Ocean. I then placed a stencil over the top and blended those colours again to give a subtle background.

I die cut my layering Christmas Tree and sponged the inner layer lightly with DO Blueprint Sketch and then layered it onto silver glitter card stock. I also layered my base layer onto silver glitter card stock. Stamped my sentiment and popped up the sub sentiment on white card.

Spirit of Christmas

 

My last card for the weekend and it's another Christmas card. I bought the Sizzix Geo Floral Frame with some birthday money so wanted to try them out. I stamped my sentiment first then die cut 2 of the frames out of the set. They are very fine so I backed them with some double sided tape before cutting. I then die cut some holly branches and added red gems for berries and clear sequins for added interest. I then mounted the panel onto some more gold card and attached it to my base.
