Hello Everyone!
I know you are probably surprised to see a Christmas Card today. I was actually surprised to be making one. However
, I guess when you stop and think about it, it's never to early to start on them! I did this one for Saturday's OCC Challenge. The challenge was, of course, to create a Christmas Card. I also combined this challenge with yesterday's Mojo Monday sketch. I used Real Red, Celery, Bashful Blue and White for my color palette. The snowman and sentiment are from OCL "Tweet Winter Wishes" I stamped it with Memento Black ink and used B00, R24, C1 and YG03 Copic Markers to color him in. I used an Only Orange marker from SU for his carrot nose. The Snowflake ribbon is from a Christmas set I got at Michael's last year. I used Petite Scallop Nestabilities for the scallop circle behind the sentiment, which I stamped with Real Red ink. Now, I have to tell you this card was perfect until I decided that I wanted to round the top right corner of the card and my corner punch...yeah, should have LEFT it ALONE!! Other than that, I was very happy with the way this turned out.
My second card for the day is today's MMSC card. For this one I used Tangerine Tango, Saffron, Basic Grey and a piece of Coredination card stock.
I used my floral fantasy cuttlebug folder and then sanded the Coredination paper to make the white come through. I really liked the effect. I used some Weathered Wood distress ink around the edges. The image in the center is from SU's "Serene Spring" I know this set retired; but it still remains one of my favorites. I stamped it again with Memento Black ink and then used Y21, YG67, YG63,C1, C2, and C5 Copic Markers, along with a ColorBox Chalk ink to shade it in. I added the two prima flowers on the side to complete the card.
Now, I realized once it was finished that I forgot the sentiment!
Ok, that's all for me today. Hope you all have a fabulous day!
