Christmas Post

Well, after lots of company and a wonderful Christmas, I am finally going to add the last of my Christmas Cards to my blog.  We were so lucky that we did not lose power over the holidays as many of my friends did who live in the surrounding area.

I used a Lilli of the Valley stamp for this card - two youngsters posting a card.  I cut the ovals with my Colluzle, added a die cut from Sizzex down the side.  The cardstock and DP are from my stash.  The images are colored with Copics.  I added some flower soft to her muff and the bottom of her coat.  Now, with his unkempt looking hair, and the way I colored him, I think he looks like he came out in his pj's and bath robe!  But I do still like the card. 

I am going to enter this card in the following challenges:

I decided to use an interesting sketch from MoJo Monday for this card.  My interpretation is just a smidge different than the sketch!
I stamped and heat embossed the image which is from Inkadinkadoo.  The sentiment is a digital image from TLC.  I had to pop the main part of the card up as the twine I used under it was quite thick.  Some cardstock and DP and it was finished.

This is the sketch I used:

Well Christmas is getting closer and closer and I am still making cards - good thing most of them will be hand delivered.

For this card I have used a Christmas tree ornament stamp from Inkadinkadoo which I heat embossed.  I also heat embossed the sentiment stamp from Stamping up.  Used a Cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder for the background and a silver die cut from K&Company.

And a close up of the ornaments!

I based my card on a really neat sketch from Feeling Sketchy
