Ice skates always remind me of a Victorian Christmas. For this card I used the image and sentiment from Jan's Digital Designs, Christmas Skates package. The decorative edge was achieved using Gina Marie Designs Scalloped Stitched Rectangle dies.

One of the many techniques that Beccy does frequently on her blog is cards with black backgrounds. Hers are always stunning and the image just pops out so beautifully.
I decided to fussy cut this sprig of holly - Beccy's design - to put on the black background. Lesson one - use a large image that doesn't have a lot of details!
It turned out okay but it took quite a while to achieve. I used the Spellbinders, Fluted Classic Oval die for the black background.

I do love coloring birds and this pretty little fellow is right up my alley, perched on this sprig of GREEN holly. I didn't use Copics for this one. He's done with water coloring.
This image is from Hobby Art, Ltd and the set is called Village Post. I used the Stitched Oval dies from Pink and Main on the completed image and a deep GREEN holly matting with a red liner mat and enamel sentiment to complete the design.
May your days be merry as Christmas is approaching fast!

Completed in Copics and after completed, I added Glossy Accents by Ranger over the purple bulb. Although it takes a while to dry, it's shiny and a great added effect!

During November my online friend Linda and I played along with quite a few crafters worldwide in the 'Month of Holiday Cards Challenge with Beccy of Beccy's Place. Each day we posted cards through the alphabet with a few extras, had races, treasure hunts, lucky numbers and comment winners.
For the next few weeks I'll be sharing the cards I used for those postings with you each day. There won't be the usual level of detail ~ there's just not enough time in December!
I hope you'll enjoy the little peeks at my Christmas 2025 stash. I've sure have a lot of fun making them over the last two months.
