Christmas Cards - Who doesn't love to make them?

Here is the 2nd Xmas Card that I made scrap lifting from Vicky LOL!

So I didn't have the village stamp and had to go out and buy one (card above has the village stamp I could find), but I had to try this technique from watching Vicky's video.  Clearly the village works much better than the large houses below I think.

The changes that I will make on the next card is not to use the embossing paste for the roof tops.  It was so messy and I think too much dimension.  I will use the liquid mask and then maybe some stickles for the snow on the roof top.  I will figure it out when I have some more time to do these again.  

I am selling this card (well the new improved one with stickles) as well for $5.00 or 5 for $20.

MIC - Cheeky, Cheery and Jolly Santa's

 Believe in the season!

I was inspired by one of the artists that I follow, Vicky Papaiannou.  She sure does make things look easy!  Well this one really was.  The video (if you haven't seen Vicky's videos yet - I warn you they are highly addictive) I watched showed how to make the actual background as well as how to create the inlay for the wording.  I changed some elements...OK I didn't have the same snow flakes as she did, or the image for this card LOL.  I did partner it up with Santa and had a great die cut from Tim Holtz, I just love the word BELIEVE!  I was lucky enough to find the stamp - Penny Black - Season's Gifts for the sentiment on the inside of the card below.

The actual Santa Images are all from Make it Crafty and they are called, Cheeky Santa, Cheery Santa and Jolly Santa.  I just love the Make It Crafty images...they are so easy to colour because Zoe has all the shading lines on her images!

The Copic Markers that I used for these images are;

Skin - E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R20

Beard - C00, C1, C3

Jacket/Hat - R56, R37, R35

Pants/Shoes/Belt - W7, W5, W3, W1

Buttons/Buckles - YR23, Y15, Y11, Y00

I have these cards selling for $5.00 each or 5 for $20.
