Holiday Wishes

Happy Wednesday to you all!  It is time for another challenge at Creative Moments.  It is anything goes with the option to use an animal in your card.  We are being sponsored by Stamps by Kathryne at Whimsy.  I have used her Christmas Cardinal image.  It is never to early to get started on some Christmas cards.

Things have been so hectic around here I completely forgot to write down the copics I used and the papers so I do apologize.  I added some snow-tex  to the limb and then used some stampendous chunky white embossing for the snow falling.  The little metal embellishment says "Holiday Wishes".  Until next time...have a great week and try to find some time to get creative it is good for your soul!

The Gift

Is this not the cutest image I just fell in love with this little mer-couple.  He is so sweet bringing his treasure to her.  You can find this image and many other adorable images at Aurora Wings, in the mermaids collection.  This image is called "The Gift"
My card base is Heavenly White, the embossed paper is part of the spring package called Aquamarine Mica/Metallic just perfect for sea image.  The focal image is colored on Neenah Solar White.  All of these papers and many other beautiful papers can be found at PaperTemptress.  We all know beautiful cards begin with excellent card stock.  If you hurry up there is a great sale going until the end of this month with all papers 20% off, and some discounted even more so go on by and check out the savings you will get.

I have used stampendous glass glitter for the sea.  Tim Holtz distress glitter for the fins.  The netting was something I have had or awhile and it just worked perfect to add some seashells to.  All coloring done with copics.

Engine #25....All Aboard

TGIF...not sure what it is but I sure like it when Friday is here, even if I have to work tomorrow!  Hope everyone had a great week, mine was a good one productive in many areas.  I had the day off yesterday so I thought I would work on some Christmas cards.  I first saw this image awhile back colored by the very talented Jennifer Dove.  She is such an inspiration to me and this is one of the images she will be using at her upcoming card class which I cannot attend so I thought I would just give it a try on my own.

 

This image "Engine 25" is by Stampendous.  I have stamped the image twice and cut out the train scene and raised the outer layer. The edges are distressed with walnut stain.  My image is colored with copics.  The DP is "so this is Christmas" by Carta Bella.  I have a little stickles to the holly berries for a little bling.  This is one of the coolest stamps I have seen in awhile.
