As I have mentioned, I am on a mission to make as many Christmas cards as I can before December. Since I got really carried away with embellishments last year and they ended up forcing the cost of postage through the roof, my cards this year are going to be more clean and simple. That should make my husband a lot happier since he was the one who paid for all that extra postage and had to stand there and put the stamps on each envelope.
This week the challenge at Sassy Cheryl's is to make a tent card so I used this opportunity to use one of her images I had bought some time ago.
I am going to enter this card in the following challenges:
Sassy Cheryl's - Tent Cards
Christmas Cards All Year Long - Anything Goes
Lexi's Creations - No Sentiment
Bah Humbug - Scarves & Mittens
Image: Santa and Snowman (Sassy Cheryl)
Card Stock: Green (Wassau)
Papers: Stripe & Spotted (Sandylion Sticker Designs), Red (Lasting Impressions)
Colouring Medium: Pencil Crayons (Prismacolors) with OMS (Taltine)
Tools & Embellishments: Card Candy (Craftwork Cards)
Perfect plan. . . .perfect card, Cec! Just love this adorable card. Beautifully colored and I love the papers!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing in the challenge this week.
Hey Cec! Love your SASSY Christmas card! The coloring on the hat makes it look so dimensional.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and leaving me a kind comment, too! Appreciated.
Hey, there, Ms. Cec! This card is fabulous! I LOVE your coloring of this image.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining us this week for the Sassy Cheryl's Challenge.
This should do the trick. I only made a few "mass produced" cards last year too and all the cards took at least 2 stamps a piece. I believe I will try your idea. Sounds like a marvelous plan.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful I love the coloring and the contrasting DPs.
Love this card, I had same prob last year, got carried away and made them all so heavy with bits and bobs, i'm on a weight economy drive too. thanks for joining us at Bah! Humbug! Hugs Wendy GD x

I will also have to curb my enthusiasm when it comes to this year's cards that have to be posted as Royal Mail definitely benefited last Christmas! I'll probably still be just as extravagant on the ones we hand deliver though lol.
ReplyDeleteThis is a super image which looks great with those lovely papers. Thank you for sharing with us at Bah! Humbug!
