'Tis the Season

Another Christmas Card.  I used the digital stamp "JJ Xmas Cheer - Tis the Season" from Bugaboo.  I coloured the image using Copics.  The star is Nuvo Crystal Drops.  The ornaments on her dress have Glossy Accents on top.  I die cut circles from the NOEL paper and the red paper.  The sentiment tab is also die cut.  The "Cheers" sentiment was sketched using my Silhouette Cameo.  I used Tim Holtz Aged Mahogany Distress Ink around the plaid paper.  While I was doing this card I kept Bugaboo's October B-I-N-G-O Challenge in mind which were distress, players choice (Nuvo drops & Glossy Accents) and a die.

Brothers

I wanted to create a card from my Grandsons to their Dad for his birthday.  I used the Bugaboo digi stamp " Big Book Boy".  I reversed one of the images for this card.  I coloured the images with Copics to match my Grandsons.  The background was printed from my Silhouette.  The sentiment is also created from the Silhouette.  I wrote "From two of your favourite boys" because their family grew by two last week (twin boys) and I didn't quite know how to include two baby boys into my card.    Happy Birthday Patrick.

Christmas Cookie Bird

This cute little Christmas Bird is eating his yummy cookie.  The Christmas Bird is part of the stamp set "Season's Tweetings" from Honey Bee.  The "Christmas Cookie" sentiment was sketched using the Cameo.  I heat embossed in white the "Holiday Cheer" sentiment (part of my Christmas sentiment stash so the brand name is unknown to me).  I stamped and embossed the green background with a snowflake and clear embossing powder.  I coloured the Christmas bird using copics and added some dimensional glue and glitter to his hat.

Christmas Elf

I love Christmas and I love my Bugaboo stamps that I own.  I could always use a few more though.  I used Bugaboo "Elf Sitter" stamp set for the image and the sentiment.  I coloured my little guy using copics.  I added Wink of Stella to the jingle bells to add some sparkle.  I then popped up the elf panel with pop dots.

Thanks for having a look at my card.

You Are My Sunshine

This little girl is just so adorable.  The stamp set is "April Showers" by Dare 2B Artzy.  I stenciled a small area of geometric squares using Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide.  She coloured with copics and the sentiment was stamped with a Marvy marker. I added Wink of Stella to the lacy part of the umbrella, coat and to the flower on the gumboots.  I used glossy accents for the button and the three blue dots on the tag.

Thanks for having a peek at my creation.

My "You Are My Sunshine" card was picked by "A Gem of a Challenge" as a top 3.  Thank you for the recognition.
