The first card follows the Just Magnolia sketch, the winter theme over at Fuss and Fancy, Glitter over at Ba Humbag, and the Simon Says Stamps punch it challenge... and I am keeping to my New Year's Resolution of at least 1 Christmas card a week.
Tilda is watercoloured and then I distressed the edges with distress ink. took my distressing tool to the edges of the image and cardstock, then liberally pushed it into my versamark pad (Ellie liked this ..) before sprinkling embossing powder over and heating it (Ellie really liked this bit!!) I (We) repeated the process for the dp and cardstock. I used my cuttlebug snowflake die and pushed it into the versamark pad (helped by Ellie) and then sprinkled with embossing powder (Ellie did this bit) before heating it. I added some raffia and layered punched snowflakes.The second card I made was for several challenges:
Penny Black Saturday Challenge - Something sweet
Sketch Saturday - sketch
Allsorts - Hearts and flowers
One Stop Craft Challenge - love and kisses (xxx on the tag, and that mouse loved those chocs!!)
Basic Grey Challenge - Animals
The image was watercoloured and then I inked the edges. I added heart gems to the sweets and to the top corners of the image. I don't have any corner punches so I cut a flower into quarters. I used rirac for the scalloped edge.Its the first challenge tomorrow over at Just Cute Bears Challenge.

both cards are fabulous. I love the way you have used half a snowflake on your first card and the colouring is just lovely.
Well done on keeping to your resolution to do one card a week. That's our aim at Bah! Humbug! and it should mean that next Christmas is so stress free.

Beautiful cards Cathy - how sweet that your daughter likes to help with the messy bits.
Am recovering from nasty flu-type bug that hubby brought home with him so can sympathise, but it is obviously not interfering in your creativity. Hope you feel better soon.
Thanks for playing along with us at Bah! Humbug! this week.
Luv'n'Stuff
