Oh Little Town......

 

....not Bethlehem.  Hello and welcome.  2nd post for me today.  If you're looking for my gnomes and coffee cards, please scroll down one post.  
 
Today I'd like to share with you a Christmas card I made using the Christmas Village set from Pajama Crafter Stamps.  I started out by stamping the town, and tree, images in memento tuxedo black ink on Copic white card stock before coloring using my Ohuhu markers.  Once the coloring was finished, I fussy cut the houses, and lamp post, out before highlighting them using Sakura 3D glaze/souffle pens.  After adding the houses using pop dots, I then highlighted the "snow" using some star dust stickles since it's the easiest way to add glitter. I'm really happy with how this turned out.  It's at least my version of a clean and simple Christmas card.  LOL

A Little Stained Glass Winter

 
Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a couple of cards made using Conjurer of Dreams Winter Stained Glass Windows images along with several others.  First, let me just say, I absolutely LOVE Kim's stained glass images!!  For both of these cards, I merged the stained glass with the following: Polar Bears AI Art Digitals, Frosty Quirky Elves, Christmas Gnomes and Christmas Ducks.

I started out by printing a non-merged Winter Stained Glass images twice to use as designer paper before printing the merged church/gnomes/ducks image at 3.5 x 5.  After layering, and adding brads, I adhered it to my card using glue dots before adding crystal stickles to highlight the snow/church windows/frozen creek.

Next is a card using a different stained glass church image.  This time I combined it with the Polar Bears AI Art and Frosty before printing it also at 3.5 x 5 then layered and added silver brads before adhering it to the card using glue dots.  After adding some silver cord, I again highlighted the snow/windows/frozen creek using crystal stickles.  I am really happy with how both of these turned out.
