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

We have a fun new ABC Christmas Challenge starting today...Helene is the host, and the themes are:

'P is for Pink'
'Q is for Quartet'
&
'R is for Rudolph'

The prize for the lucky winner is these Fizzy Moon stamps:


For my 'P is for Pink' card, I picked some snowy sky background paper from the 'Believe in Yourself' pad from The Works, using it as a background for my favourite snowman...'Snowy' by Penny Black. I stamped him on to watercolour paper, coloured him using watercolour pencils, then carefully cut around the top of the image. I added a sentiment using a stamp from the 'Scribbly Christmas' set by Tim Holtz for Stampers Anonymous, then matted it all on to a piece of pink mirror card before adding it to a card blank.


For my 'Q is for Quartet' card, I used four of the animal stamps from the 'Carol Singers' set by Lili of the Valley, masking and stamping them on to watercolour paper. I coloured them using watercolour pencils, then added a sentiment from the 'Christmas Hats' set by Anita Jeram for the Colorado Craft Company. I distressed the edges a little, then added it toa DL card blank.


Finally, for my 'R is for Rudolph' card, I used another Lili of the Valley stamp...this one is simply called 'Santa'. I stamped it directly on to a kraft card blank, along with a sentiment from another Lili of the Valley set, then coloured it using watercolour pencils.


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