I know, I know. Maybe you are sick of Christmas cards, but I worked on so many of them last week and this past weekend, that I just wanted to show them off a bit. I really LOVE to have my Christmas cards done ahead of time, so this is a great way to do it. I only create 10 each month, so here they are all at once for the month of February.
I believe I showed you the GinaK Designs penguin earlier this month, so I forgo another up-close image of those two. I made five of the Jesus is the Reason for the Season card shown here -->
Then I had three House Mouse (HM) images left over from a HM swap last year that I have been wanting to use. They were all colored with prismacolor pencils and gamsoled to blend. One has dazzling diamonds on the berries, the other has sparkling glitter on it from my sakura gel pen and stickles for the ice/snow (wasn't quite dry in the picture hence the lumpy look--sorry), and my favorite of all three is the Warm and Cozy one.
Items used on total group:
Card stock (cs): white, vanilla, almost artichoke, hunter green, choc chip, close to cocoa, dark blue (not SU) and a little sage green.
Inks: Basic black, versamark for gold EP, and some sponged on hunter green
Designer Paper (dp): DCWV for the light blue in the penguin card and Figgy Pudding on the HM cards
Accessories: brads, stickles, liquid pearls, clear embossing powder (EP), gold EP, paper clip, ribbon, dazzling diamonds (DD).
Tools: Coluzzle, Spellbinders nestabilities classic scalloped oval and Stampin Up (SU) tab punch, SU pastels/chalks, prismacolor pencils and odorless mineral spirits.
I hope you enjoyed seeing them. :) Kelly
