Christmas Wonder

stamp: Penny Black 'The Wonder'

others: watercolour, Copic, poinsettia dies, label die

snippet of watercolour paper

The image was coloured with Copic, fussy cut it out. Die-cut a label from the brown cardstock and then layered over a snippet of watercolour paper which I did on trial by simply coloured it (but not good enough to use as front panel of card). Added poinsettia die-cut flower as embellishment. Sentiment was computer generated.

Candy Cane Heart

stamp: Spellbinder House-Mouse 'Mistletoe Kiss RSC-017',

others: cloud stencil, Faber Castell watercolour pencils, small frame dies, Titi soft pastel

This is my version of tropical Christmas...enjoying candy cane under the bright blue sky..lol!

After I coloured the image, I used cloud stencil and soft pastel to carefully coloured the background. Titi soft pastel colour is quite vivid, love it.  The mistletoe look mid-way hanging, so I added a die-cut frame to ground the image.

Poinsettia Gift Tag

I coloured the white cardstock background using snowflake stencil and distress ink. Then die-cut with the frame die. I used left-over black cardstock from making mini album, to die-cut the unique frame. Poinsettia flowers, leaves and the quote frame were also die-cut from various snippets. Done this Christmas gift tag at the very last minute..,.before my kid brought it to the church for the gift-exchange party.
