2 Cards: Xmas Dragon and Xmas Kitty

Hi, everyone.  I hope you are having a great day.  I took some time out of my packing and organizing to make a couple of Christmas cards.  I am sharing both cards in one blog post because Sarn has requested this for her Rudolph Day challenge over at Stamping for Pleasure.  *** Scroll down to see Card #2 ***

Card #1
For my first card, I used this adorable image from Fresh Brewed Designs called Little Kitten and I coloured it with my Prismacolor pencils and added a cute little Santa hat.  The sentiment is a rubber stamp from Impression Obsession. The backing paper is actually some wrapping paper from a Christmas gift that I couldn't bare to throw away - I love the holographic sparkle.  Lastly I added ribbon and bow.

Card #2

For my second card, I've used a freebie from Digi Stamps 4 Joy - they are having a monthly progressive challenge this year for Christmas cards, and this cute dragon is the February image. I coloured it with my Prismacolor pencils, fussy-cut, and added Stickles to the hat.  The DP is from Lawn Fawn, and the sentiment is a wood-mount from Plaid.  I added some rikrak, sequins, and metallic trees and reindeer.
