Christmas

Welcome to my part of blogland, pour another cup of coffee(or tea), and let's have a little virtual chat! I'm on a roll with these Christmas cards. This is a lovely Northwoods stamp that was hunted up while I was disabled, and colored with copics. I love the sparkling red of cardinals. We see them at our birdfeeder. After coloring, some Snow Writer by DecoArt was used on the tree limbs. Added some coarse MS glitter while the snow was still wet. This is very pretty IRL. However, when I diecut & embossed the image, my snow flattened out. Lesson Learned: Save the snow effect until the last step! (well, I told you up front that I was learning!!! LOL). Used a S/Binder deckled rectangle to diecut the image, then the next size of the same die to do the red mat. The green paper is from a 6x6 BoBunny Mistletoe Collection. The green paper was embossed with the C/Bug Scalloped Edge folder, which cut a bit too deeply, although I liked the look. Next time I use this EF with paper, I'll back it with lightweight c/stock so it doesn't cut into the paper. Used some nice textured Bazzill for the cardbase. All it needs to finish is an appropriate sentiment and an insert. Could be for Christmas, but I could also use this image for a Winter card, don't you think? I believe I'll hop across the pond and see if the Rudolph Challenge is still open. This is a fun challenge with a most lovely group of ladies. Check this one out! Have a great day.
Edit: A very sweet blogger gave me the heads up that this card could qualify for the Penny Black and More Challenge, so I'll see if I can do the linking. Thanks Linda, for the info on the PB challenge. I do LOVE my PB stamps.
