2 Christmas Cards

Hi, everyone.  I hope you are having a great day.  Today I am sharing two Christmas cards. I like to play along with Sarn in her Rudolph Day challenge over at Stamping for Pleasure, and she wants two Christmas cards from us this year, so that's why I'm including two cards in one blog post.  *** Scroll down to see Card #2 ***

Card #1
For my first card, I used this adorable image from Fresh Brewed Designs called Cat and Mouse Nap and I coloured it with my Prismacolor pencils and added Stickles on the hats.  The sentiment is from Imagine That... digis by Kris from her "Jenn and Friends" set.  The ribbon is from Offray and the lacy ribbon is from May Arts.  I used Cuttlebug Snowflakes to emboss the white panel and added some gems from Simon Says Stamp.

Card #2
For my second card, I've used a freebie from Digi Stamps 4 Joy - they are having a new monthly progressive challenge this year for Christmas cards, and this lovely candle is the January image. I coloured it with my Prismacolor pencils and added Stickles to the stars and berries.  The DP is from Lawn Fawn and the ribbon is from Offray, and I used my Fiskars lacy border punch.  The sentiment is a wood-mount from Plaid.
