Hello to you All and I hope all is well with you and that you have a lovely weekend planned, even although it's staying in the craft room and crafting, what could be better than that.....
Time once again for the Christmas Card girls to show off their creation, can hardly believe two weeks have past by. This time Linda did the choosing and she wan't to see Penguins, or of course there is always the alternative Anything goes.
I struggled with this one as my motivation has disappeared and I had to really push myself to make a card, but I eventually managed two
This sweet image is from Whimsy stamps and i took three attempts to get it right, and in the end, I realised I used the wrong ink for Copic Markers, so the markers moved some of the ink, but I certainly wasn't going for a fourth try. Distress Oxide as a background and som clear gems. Paper from an old First Edition Christmas pad.
One of my favourite images from Hobby Art Stamps, Archie and Pals. Now this time I had the correct ink, but the wrong paper for pencils, I used Copic colouring paper as I must have thought that was the medium I was going to use. The background is all Copic, lots of Star Dust gel for the sparkle and a few gems. Sentiment is from Tonic Studios. Thank you Linda for the lovely challenge, it was just me who was out of sorts, anyhoo I hope they are okay.
Thank you for the kind comments on my last post.
That's me for now, take care,
Wow these are gorgeous Kate .. such fun images .......

Enjoy your Sunday
Hi Kate, sorry I haven't been around for a while. Toe super cards but I absolutely adore the stamp on your second one. It's so much fun! I know what you mean about lacking motivation. I have to come up with more than sixty cards a month for our WI members and it is beginning to be very difficult. If this goes on much longer I don't know what I'll do for them. Ah well, I'm sure I'll come up with something for them. Take care and stay safe. Hugs Christine xx
ReplyDeleteTwo fabulous cards Kate, fun stamps - they are both so jolly.

Hi Kate
ReplyDeleteSuper cards as you do love a snowman.
We all have those moments when you just want to scream when you've done things not quite right but whatever you did, the cards turned out smashing.

Two beautiful snowman cards Kate and I love the first with the blue sparkly sky and snow to go with the cute penquin and robins and that sweet snowman, and then the second with the cute little penguins being juggled by that lovely snowman which just makes me smile, and I love the purple sky background on that one and more sparkly snow too, and both with such pretty colouring. I must start getting on with my Christmas cards too. x
ReplyDeletePenguins are such happy little guys that you can't help smile when you see them on cards. Both cards are so cute and fun, Kate. And the colorwork is beautiful.
