M is for Music


 This card for ABC Christmas Challenge came together so nicely and I really love how it turned out.  I always say I never know what is going to come forth from my hands when i begin creating a card.  M is for Music.  I used a sentiment with the word Music in it.  Stamped on a postage style die cut.  I stamped the manger image in black and  blended some blue ink over it. I fussy cut out the baby in the manger and laid it over an already stamped image.  Added some glitter gel pen in silver for the aura and barely colored the face in Prisma.  A touch of gray prisma outlines the babe in the manger.   I think I will make a few more like this and use up the rest of that designer paper I've had hanging around for twenty years.

L is for Little

 

ABC Christmas Challenge is such a great place to play along and get your holiday cards made all through the year.   This month L is for little.  I used a small image and also a very small sentiment.  Small trees adorn the patterned paper on the bottom.  I've always admired designers who can blend two different kinds of patterned paper together and bonus points if they come from two different packs.   I quite like the way this turned out.  I used a gold gel pen to trace over the pierced line the scalloped die made.  It's my way of doing faux stitching.

J is for Joke ABC CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE


 

J is for Joke at the ABC CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE isn't this little froggy from Unity stamps (Cuttlebug Frog) the cutest little guy?  He should be saying HOPPY holidays.  Keeping it simple so he stands out.  I used the partial die cutting technique to let his feet hang off the die cut.

K is for Kraft ABC CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE


 K is for Kraft over at ABC CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE BLOG I used a kraft base, cut out a layer and stamped with Ranger wood plank stamp. It's adhered leaving 1/8th inch edge all around.  The image is Stampendous.  It is stamped and then cut out leaving just a tiny border around the frame.  I liked the over hang of the branches.  Colored with prisma pencils I enjoyed the finished look.  Thanks for stopping by.
