I've had fun this month creating "Partial Cards" for the Power Poppy Challenge. For my final entree, I am using their adorable Gingerbread Family Digi set. The sentiment on the inside is from the Power Poppy set, the "Hi sweetie" greeting on the front is from a wonderful Beccy's Place digi set named "Sweet Shoppe". The images are colored with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and white gel pen. Sweet it is! (The second photo is from the inside of the card.)

The final challenge in Beccy's Place Fifth Annual Month of Holiday Cards Challenge is "Do What You Love." When it comes to stamping, I love coloring and fussy-cutting. And I also love making cards that are a little unusual. This card meets all of those categories. A few weeks ago I made a card similar to this, but with a different sketch. For this card, I added vellum "curtains" (made the curtain rod from a wooden skewer cut to size and glued gold beads on the ends) and the girl and her younger brother are kneeling by the window watching Santa's reindeer fly through the sky. Once again, Rudolph's nose glows red. This time with a small rhinestone. The Santa and his sleigh stamp is from a Michaels set, the sentiment on the inside section of the card is from SU, the tree stamp is from Embossing Arts. Am entering it into several other challenges, including the Cutie Pie Challenge, because the card includes a bear and it also cute! (I added a close up so that you can see all the details.)

What wonderful cards! I love the curtains on the window. How clever!
ReplyDeleteThese cards are beautiful Kathy, well done! I love the gingerbread cookies on your first one, you've coloured them perfectly and they look good enough to eat. Your second card reminds me of when I was a child and used to talk to my brother about Santa arriving. I would point to a line of stars and tell him it was Santa and his sleigh.
ReplyDeleteYour poinsettia tag is gorgeous, I love the die cut and embossing. The background is fabulous too.
Cheers,
Beccy
