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.

ReplyDeleteBoth your cards are gorgeous, but obviously I'll concentrate on the cat one as thats why I'm here! Love it my dear, a great image and so beautifully coloured. Lovely to see you at MAWTT, Jx
ReplyDeleteI like the bold colors on your top card. They looked great when paired with the crisp white of the embossed piece. I really like the lacy ribbon your added to it. It makes me think of fluffy snow. I like all the different papers you used on the bottom card. They go so well together. It is a nice image and well colored. Great job!!!
