        Sorry. Getting this posted a little late due to server issues. Enjoy!

It’s the 1st of the month, so I’m sharing a few DT cards for the challenge at QKR Stampede. Stop by the challenge, which is always “Anything Goes” and several prizes are awarded. Maybe you’ll be inspired to enter a card or two yourself?

The first card highlights the true reason for the season! It features two wonderful Christmas sentiments, photo corners, and sparkly star stickers. The card actually went together pretty quickly as the only coloring required was done with ink pads and sponges.. I extended the large star’s rays with a Nuvo Shimmer Pen. They reached down into the little stable on the ground. The final touch (visible in the slimline sliver of the pic) was adding a sparkly star within the stable, representing Baby Jesus nestled in a manger inside. Alleluia!

I am entering this card into several challenges including The Paper Shelter and Time Out Challenge (Since Christmas is my favorite winter holiday!)

Supplies: 

·   Digi- Eureka Digital Stamp (Bethlehem with verse) Also available in unmounted or cling-mounted

·   Colored with assorted Ink pads, a sponge, and a  Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Pen- Opal Quartz

·   Sparkly Star Stickers- Hobby Lobby

·   Inside Sentiment - Eureka Digital Stamp (When Man Reaches) Also available in unmounted or cling-mounted

·   All other items from my stash.

This second card holds a playful holiday feeling, as the gangly Moose don’s his festive attire- a large jingle bell and antler ornament. Because of the Z-fold base, the furry guy is able to stand tall when the card is perched atop a table or mantle. And don't you just love his googly eyes? (I've loved googly eyes since I was maybe 3 years old and always look for ways to use them. They add some extra movement and... well...fun!)
