Christmas Card Collection and Snow!

Good morning , let the clean up begin here's a view outside this morning.

Now on to the fun stuff and the rest of today's share, Christmas cards and a bookmark tag. These are
a mix of papers from my stash, die cuts and SU! stamps.

 
In the cards below I used my stamp for the snowflake details on the RH one and stenciled through my die for the LH one.

I really like how this bookmark tag came together, it's going to look great hanging on the front of a gift bag.

I'm always glad to answer any questions if you'd like to know more about how my cards are made.
Have a good weekend!

create without limits -Bookmark

Hello!
Here today sharing a bookmark I made with the fun Quietfire Design calligraphy stamp create without limits.

 

For the top panel, I started with a scrap of watercolour paper that was torn out of my Art Journal.

-Daubed a bit of pink and lt blue here and there on the dry w/c paper and roughed up the one edge that was torn from the Journal to give it more texture.

-Next I used a Memory Box die to cut craft foam for an outline stamp as well as various colours of card stock for building the flowers and pot (set aside). 

-After lightly wetting the w/c paper I used the craft foam outline stamp with dk blue ink  to make a shadow, let dry completely.

-Next I glued the lt brown CS outline over the inked shadow I coloured the flowers, leaves and pot with markers before adding the leaves and flowers in green CS followed by the flowers only in yellow CS.

Note: With the multiple layers offset slightly it gives it a nice 3d effect.

-Completed panel by stamping sentiment in same dk blue as the shadow. 

Then adhered panel to coordinating  patterned paper then to card stock. Since I had an plastic sleeve on hand I used it but it would look just fine without too.

Entered this into the Die Cut Divas March Challenge.

The sun is finally high enough that we can enjoy it in our sun room, 

hard to get up from a lunch break in here. ;)

The  Friendship sentiment is from Quietfire Design

Seahorse Dance ATC

I  received these bits of lace as gifts from my ATC trades and I have to say it is very cool looking!

For a quick and fun background I used the Lace as a stencil and simply dabbed the ink on with a Dauber. Then made a scalloped edge by continuing along both sides of the lace.

I love this Peacock stamp it is the perfect size for a bookmark.
The Dance to your own music stamp is also from Inkadinkado.
