ABC Christmas Challenge - P, Q & R are for?

We have another fun ABC Christmas Challenge starting today...I'm the host, and we have three fantastic themes this month:

'P is for Penguins'
'Q is for Quarters'
&
'R is for Reindeer'

There are three prizes on offer for three lucky winner (three 6x6 paper pads):




I made a card for each of the three themes (the more cards for the box the better!), and picked a cute Lili of the Valley penguin stamp called 'Present Pile for my first card. I coloured the image using watercolour pencils, added a sentiment (from a set by Pollycraft for C.C.Designs) and a simple doodled border, then simply popped it on to my card blank using 3D foam pads.


For my second card, I divided my background into quarters...using squares of papers from the 'Ho Ho Ho' pad by Polkadoodles...with a little bit of faux stitching added using my CutterBug and a black gel pen. The image and sentiment stamps are from the 'Christmas Hugs' set by Penny Black...and is again coloured using watercolour pencils.


My third card feature another Penny Black image...called 'Deer in Skates'...I stamped it directly on to a kraft card blank, along with a sentiment (from the 'Scribbly Christmas' set by Tim Holtz for Stampers Anonymous), then coloured it using watercolour pencils, but without any water.


I'm also entering these cards into the following challenges:

    Well you're definitely getting on with your Christmas cards Helen - three in one go! I'm a bit of a CAS admirer and the cute penguin staggering under his pile of presents is a favourite, with that lovely doodled frame. But he's pipped to the post by that gorgeous goofy reindeer on skates! I love the suggestion of ice around him and that lovely clean kraft card base :)

    Great collection of cards, Helen but I think those hedgehogs are my favourites! I love the paper layout and of course those cute characters.

    Thanks for joining us at the Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge.
