Christmas Cards 1, 2, 3


http://christmascardsallyearround.blogspot.com/2011/07/july-challenge.html - White, with Bling & Flower

http://flutterbywednesdays.blogspot.com/2011/07/flutter-by-wednesday-164.html - Stripes always with an angel, Butterfly or Fairy

http://craftycreationschallenges.blogspot.com/2011/07/129-christmas-in-july.html - Christmas In July

Actually all 3 cards are used for CCAYR, and Crafty Creations. The angel was stamped in silver and embossed in Silver and then coloured with tombow markers. Glitter was used for her wings and dress and I decided to use a soft pink in some of the dress. To create the stripes for Flutter By Wednesdays I used excess white papers and I highlighted the stripes with silver stickers and the edges with stickers too. The tiny crystals added around the angle are little white flowers. I think this one is my fav..If I can be so bold as to choose one.










The 2nd card is smaller than the others since I decided to do an oval shape. I have these cute stickers-little angel holding a Christmas flower. I layered him(her??) on a cuddlebug paper and this shiny white paper. I used glitter stickers to surround the ovals and finished it off with some white crystals






With this third Card, I used the Cuddlebug-snowflake design (I felt flaky today:)) I used Gold dye ink and Gold Embossing powder for the poinsettia and then, with a glue pen, I put white sparkle on the flowers OK technically they are supposed to be leaves according to Poinsettia experts), pale yellow for the berries(centre is supposed to be the actual flower...really), and light green for the leaves. I did 2 poinsettias and cut both out. The bottom one is the entire stamp and the top one I just cut the flower part to give a 3D effect. I used sparkle stickers for the 4 corners. Voila! That is about the entire vocabulary of my French:)
