For one of the activities in my card swap group, we are taking one weekend a month to work on our Christmas card stash. This is already a lot harder to do than I thought it would be. I specifically have my Christmas stamps separated and easy to access however, getting your mind wrapped around that holiday for just a couple days a month is just tough for me to do. I am determined to follow through with this commitment however because I know this November I will be doing a little happy dance!
Here's the two cards I accomplished this weekend for the challenge.
For both ornaments I stamped the images on Neenah 110# card stock and colored using my Copic markers (listed below for your reference).
On the Cardinal Ornament card I used my Tattered Lace Beaded Chain Square die, then double matted with burgundy and gold before adhering to a chocolate brown card base.
On the Baby Jesus, the sentiment is from Altenew and die cut using the Gina Marie Wonky Stitched die. I matched the song music paper with this card and also used accents of blue for a couple of current Christmas card challenges.
I'll be entering these in the following challenges:
