Christmas Jumpers

Hi! Here are some cards I made for friends and relatives this year - I'm always so disorganised and send out my cards really late, but these were quite quick to make, which took the stress off a bit!

I found clipart images of a sweater and a reindeer, layered them and printed them off. I coloured with promarkers and then added eyes and nose with Nuvo Drops. I used Nuvo Drops on the trim of the jumper too.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

Working on my Wintery Skies

Hi! Here's another card using my cat digi from Vectorstock. I've added more colours into the sky, to get that wintery sunset look. I added glamour dust to the branches and snow drifts, for some sparkle.

Folded Trees

Hi! I've made a few cards, inspired by this week's Muse challenge:

I've used the CAS style and wavy line as inspiration in my cards. I masked the line and coloured with ink dusters. I made the trees by folding a scalloped semi-circle, and then adding bauble with Nuvo Drops.

And Yet Another Glittery Fairy Christmas Card

Hi! Here's another moon fairy card. For this one, I masked the moon and wings, and added the background with ink dusters, but I only coloured around the moon, rather than the whole card. I used promarkers for the moon and wings. I used a Wink of Stella pen to add sparkle to the moon, and Glamour Dust on the wings.

Another Glittery Fairy Christmas Card

Hi! Here's another moon fairy card. For this one, I masked the moon and wings, and added the background with ink dusters. I used promarkers for the moon and inks to colour the wings. I used a Wink of Stella pen to add sparkle to the moon, and Glamour Dust on the wings.

Glittery Fairy Christmas Card

Hi! I've made a few versions of the same card in different colours, and added some subtle embossed snowflakes to one of them, which I think is my favourite. I find it really hard to get my Christmas cards finished in time for Christmas, so making a few of the same card really helps to combat my poor organisational skills...

For this card, I masked the moon and wings, and added the background with ink dusters. I used promarkers to colour the moon and wings, and used a Wink of Stella pen to add sparkle.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

Addicted to Stamps: 'Make Your Mark'

CAS-ual Fridays: 'Glitter and Snowflakes'

Sweet Stampin': 'Let It Snow'

HLS CAS: 'Favourite Technique' - Masking! I love using ink dusters and sponging to create backgrounds, and masking ensures I don't accidentally colour my image! It is worth the faff of cutting the images out :)
