Christmas Cards!

I Think I'm Done!

I think this is the last of my Christmas cards for this year! I love making them, though, 

so I may make a few more just for fun!

  

The first three are done with images from Mo's Digital Pencil.

 Isn't this little Elf adorable? I just love her! 

I was going to paper-piece the ornament, but messed up when I tried to print the image on the digital DP. All was not lost," as I decided to cut out the ball using an Xacto knife and mount the DP behind it. Before I did, I coated the paper with VersaMark and clear embossing powder to make it shiny.

 I think this is my favorite! The sentiment came from my facebook teamie, Jo Ann Sinclair. 

She comes up with such clever sayings for images.

Inside: Hope you're stirring up some holiday fun, too!

I really like traditional Christmas colors for cards. I'm never satisfied with cards I make

 that use unusual colors.

This is a public domain image of a bookplate. The toys were difficult to color because it was hard to distinguish what some of them were!

I layered several ribbons of differing widths for the trim.

  Here's an example of the non-traditional colors I mentioned! I liked the image, but couldn't get past the colors I used! Would have liked him better as a red-suited Santa!
