Naughty or Nice?

Time for a Christmas Card - I am slowly building up my stash ready for November.

A new stamp set for me ..... loved the cat in the tree and I have several friends who have cats, so it will be perfect for them!

Stamped in StazOn and hand coloured with Copics, highlighted with Plaid Dimensional Magic.  I think I referred to it as 'French Dimensions' in a previous post, but that was incorrect.  French Dimensions was a technique in my ceramics .... LOL  An early senior's moment sneaking in there!

The background was watercoloured onto some lovely leathergrain cardstock that has been in my stash for ages.  It is lovely and thick and has such a lovely texture, I like to use it on special cards.

Another birthday card, this one for the niece's husband - it's a biggie ...... 40

I have really been taken with Natasha's techniques ..... and here is new one for me!  I was really impressed with her 'bubbles' video  

I even made my own stencils with acetate!

I have used Brett's fave footy team colours - red, blue & yellow.

It's the nephew's 20th Birthday this month ....... I know I say it every year, but WHERE has that time gone?  Next year will be the big one .... 21 and I just hope & pray that COVID is well and truly gone so that we can have a fitting proper celebration, since his 18th was curtailed due to COVID restrictions!

I used LOTV Candles Digi Set to put together 20 candles, then added the sentiment and printed using Laser Printer.  The Sentiment was then foiled with Red using my Minc.

I hand coloured the candles with Copics, then added Plaid French Dimensions for a raised enameled/3D effect - it really made the lovely colours pop!

I then trimmed the cardfront and mounted on to an A6 black card.
