Furry And Bright

 
Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you a Christmas card I made using an adorable, but retired set, from My Favorite Things.  I'm trying to get caught up on my stash of Christmas cards since I'm usually finished by the end of September but not this year.  Migraines, and illnesses, have put me way behind.  

I started out by stamping my images using my MISTI (I received as a gift) in memento tuxedo black ink before coloring using both prismacolor and copic markers.  Once my coloring was finished, I die cut the kitten out before adhering it to the image panel using glue dots.  Once the panel was layered and silver brads added, I adhered it to the razzleberry card base using medium sized glue dots.  The only embellishments added were some silver/white thread along the edge, a blinged-out flourish and some crystal ice stickles as "snow".

Be Merry

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you a clean and simple card I've had colored for some time but I just haven't completed it until now although I'm not sure why.  Possibly since I've been sick for the last 6 weeks and the doctors can't figure out what's going with me.  To top things off my hubby had to have surgery so life has been nuts.
 
I started out by printing my Christmas Tree digital image from  Rachelle Anne Miller Designs before coloring it using both Lyra and Castle Arts pencils.  Once my coloring was finished, I blended some Tim Holtz tumbled glass and broken china distress inks using my brushes from Picket Fence Studios before I stamped the saying in the right upper corner using a retired stamp from Stampin Up Warm Words set.  The only embellishments is yellow ice stickles highlighting the stars.
