Reindeer Games Card Series - Card no. #4

Happy Friday!

Today I'm sharing Reindeer Games Card Series here on my blog. I made four CAS cards, same design and layout, couple differences. :o) I had so much fun coloring all those cute reindeer and creating cards with them. :o)

For my card I used a SUPER CUTE reindeer from Mama Elephant 'Reindeer Games' stamp set, sentiment from  Create a Smile 'Clear Cool Buddies' stamp set and snowflake from Jane's Doodles 'Driving Home For Christmas' stamp set.

Image is paper pieced. I stamped the reindeer on a watercolor paper, colored him in watercolor technique with Distress Inks, fussy cut, colored edges with black marker and softened him with stylus ball.

Then I heat embossed a sentiment in white on a Kraft paper panel, stamped same reindeer again on the panel and colored him in black. I heat embossed in white cute snowflakes and glued the panel on a white top folded card base.

Lastly, I glued watercolored reindeer over the black one and drew white dots around the reindeer to create snowy scene and my card was finished. :o)

Vintage Christmas Ornament Card (Jane's Doodles DT Spotlight)

Hello everyone! :o)

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and are enjoying holidays. :o) I'm having a great time: enjoying quality time with my family and friends, having normal sleep and resting a lot. I needed that so much. :o)


Today is my turn to be on the spotlight over at Jane's Doodles and I made this Vintage Christmas Ornament Card. :o)

To create this card I used stamps from three gorgeous winter themed Jane's Doodles stamp sets: Deck the Halls, Merry Christmas and Driving Home For Christmas.

  

I stamped an ornament on a watercolor paper and colored it in watercolor technique using Distress Inks. After drying, I fussy cut the ornament, colored edges with black marker and softened the ornament on a soft working mat using stylus ball.

I put the ornament aside and worked on a panel, for which I used a Kraft paper. I stamped the ornament again on the panel, as well as thread and colored the ornament in black.

Then I heat embossed in white a sentiment and tiny snowflakes.

I glued the panel on a white top folded card base, "fixed" the thread with black fine liner and glued watercolored ornament over the black one.

As a finishing touch, I drew white dots on the panel to make my scene a bit more festive. I love how my card turned out. :o)

Card dimensions: 89 mm x 146 mm (3 1/2" x 5 3/4")
