Merry Christmas

not long to go now ............. and it will be Christmas Day!

Today's card is a CAS card ... well, CAS for me LOL

Two Gingerbread Characters stamped with StazOn, coloured in with Copics and highlighted with Kindy Glitz & scattered stars.

I spied the Gingerbread people in the background of the Peace on Earth Christmas challenge and it fits in with the current AAA Cards Challenge :)

 

The 'Merry Christmas' sentiment is from an unknown Stampin Up set.  I bought a heap of loose SU stamps from Marketplace.  If anyone can let me know which set it belongs to, that would be great!

Merry Christmas

Working on some Christmas Cards and once again, the various Challenge Blogs provide lots of inspiration!

I am loving working with these really cute Gnome stamps!

  

Gnomes were stamped with StazOn and hand coloured with copics.  Backgrounds were hand blended with Distress Inks and cut out with Spellbinders deckle edge dies, then mounted onto white leathergrain cardbase.

Hero Arts 'Merry' Sentiment die cut twice & layered, then 'christmas' stamped directly onto cardbase with StazOn black ink.

I am pleased with how this little experiment of a card worked out.  Now to work out who to give them to ..... they need to be extra special recipients LOL  and I need to work on some more!
