We have another fun ABC Christmas Challenge starting today...Dorte is the host, and the themes this month are:
'J is for Joy'
&
'K is for Kings'
'K is for Kings'
There's a fabulous prize on offer for the lucky winner from Dorte:
On my 'J is for Joy' card I used a cute Simon Says Stamp image called 'Furry Christmas'...stamping it on to watercolour paper, and colouring it using watercolour pencils. I doodled a simple border using a black gel pen, and added a sentiment from the 'Joy to the World' set by Penny Black.
For my 'K is for Kings' card, I stamped my 'We Three Kings' stamp by Penny Black on to navy card using Versamark Ink, then heat embossed it, along with the sentiment from the same stamp set, using 'Metallic Silver' embossing powder by WOW. I matted the panel on to silver mirror card, then on to my navy card blank.
I'm also entering these cards into the following challenges:
- As You Like It - Favourite Non-Birthday Occasion (Christmas - it was making my own Christmas cards one year that got me into stamping)
- Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas - Anything Christmas Goes
- Crafty Sentiments - Anything Goes
- Happy Little Stampers (Christmas) - Anything Christmas Goes
- Love to Scrap - Anything Goes
- Simon Says Stamp (Wednesdays) - Anything Goes
- The Holly & the Ivy - Anything Christmas Goes
- Through the Craft Room Door - Anything Goes

Great Christmas cards and fun stamps. I love the doggies. Great coloring. The silver embossing is also awesome. Thanks for sharing over at Crafty Sentiments.
ReplyDeleteI have that cat & dog trio, too, and always love seeing them on a card, especially one this cute! And then your kings card is so elegant in silver and navy. Nicely done!
