Merry and Bright... some Christmas colour....

Well I think I'm on a roll!!!..... another 2 Christmas cards made!! WOOHOOOO!!! Been trying to use up some paper scraps and am getting a bit sick of using reds and greens, so although these cards do have traditional colours in them, Ive tried to go for bright, different colours....
The first card is for 2 challenges:

1~A Spoonful of sugar~ Non traditional Christmas

2~Sophisticats~ Snowflakes and sparkle

A little close up so you can see the sparkle...
Stuff: Noelle from Mos digital pencil
coloured with promarkers and pencils
papers scraps BO bunny and BG

sentiment computer generated.

Next up is my hubby's Christmas card from ME.... it is a bit glittery, but I'm sure he won't mind...:)

This is also for 2 challenges:

1~Stamp with fun~ Xmas

2~Digital Tuesday~ Xmas Sparkle

And again, a little close up so you can see the sparkle....

Stuff: Siku and Shiya mos digital pencil

Coloured with promarkers and pencils

Papers scraps...not sure

sentiment computer generated

Phew, I feel like I'm getting somewhere with my cards now.... still a long way to go, but its helping loads trying to make them fit challenges, gives me a good starting point....

Thanks for looking!!!

MAWTT Challenge Heidis sketch and hidden elements...

Over at Moving along with the times this week there is a fabulous sketch from Heidi... who also wants to see hidden elements in your project....
I've never done anything like this on a card before, so thought I'd give it a go.....
Heres my card with everything closed up and hidden......

And here it is with the little suprise sentiment opened out.....

I'm actually quite pleased with this card.... I hope My MIL and FIL are too!!.....

The hidden element has worked quite well, because I'm not really sure how I would have fit the sentiment on otherwise.... this way it will fit in the envelope lovely with the sentiment put away, and can be left out when on display....

Heres a close up of the image, so you can see the sparkle.....

Stuff: Siku and Shiya from Mos Digital Pencil
Coloured with promarkers and pencils

Papers DCWV and BG

Ribbon American crafts

Sentiment computer generated

rest from stash

Well thats another Christmas card done..... I'll keep ploughing through them slowly....

Thanks for looking
