Christmas cards

I thought I would start (again!!) making Christmas cards, and have decided to use some of the sketch challenges for them, and to make 2 at a time. I have used the sketch over at Stamp with Fun and combined it with the Pollycraft challenge 5 S's (snowflakes, sparkle, spots, stripes, swirls) and I have got all 5 on both cards!! It also fits A spoonfull of Sugar's Christmas theme, and the sparkle theme over at Creative card Crew.


I coloured both Henry's and added fluffy stuff to the hats and stickles to the berries, and then cut them out. I matted them onto spotty dp and matted all the dp onto green cardstock. I used stickles to pick out the swirls in the corner and some of the red dots. I punched the snowflakes and added stickles to them. I used my Cuttlebug bauble diecuts to make the sentiment, which I tied onto the ribbon.

Right off to make bread rolls for lunch!

Recipe:
Stamp(s): WoJ Henry Mouse with Lantern, Henry Mouse with hot chocolate; Cuddly Buddly sentiment
Colouring Media: Distress inks
Papers: DCWV Christmas stack
Embellishments: punched snowlfakes, ribbon from stash
