Peace On Earth Christmas Challenge #95

Hello friends.  Still working on those Christmas cards, so I'm once again joining in with the gals over at the Peace On Earth Christmas challenge.


I was inspired by the light aqua colors in the mood board and used them to color up my images from PB's yuletide delivery stamp set.


This stamp set has 3 images and I couldn't decide which one to use (they're ALL adorable!!), so I colored up all 3 and have 3 cards to share with you!  I colored the image with my Copics and then fussy cut her out before placing her on a background I cut using PB's ripple die.  A little hard to see in the photo, but I did some white splattering on the background for snow, so I'm assuming she's outside at the mailbox and couldn't wait to get back inside before she started opening envelopes! I mean don't we all get a little excited about receiving handmade cards at Christmas?? I sure do!!


I did add glitter to the brim of her hat to add some sparkle and then added to a card front where I used PFS's Stitched Diamonds coverplate die.  My sentiment is from PB's feeling of christmas sentiment set.


My 2nd card uses another of the images and was also colored with Copics and framed out using PB's classy frames dies.  For my background on this one I used a piece of dsp Michele had given me and embossed it with SU!'s retired Winter Snow ef.


On this closer up you can see the embossing on the dsp a bit better...it really shows up in real life and I'm loving the look!  I finished this one with just a few Disco Ball sequins (Gina K) and some white & silver bakers twine at the top.  I couldn't figure out where to put the sentiment so just put it on the inside.


My last card uses the final image in the yuletide delivery set, and I once again colored it up with my Copics and then fussy cut it out.  


I used PB's crystal frame die to frame the image out and added a piece of pink cs behind to show through all the little holes in the frame. I ink blended the small rectangle behind this sweet little girl with more light aqua and finished with more glitter (even though it doessn't show up, it really is there!!).  The sentiment is once again on the inside.

The DT has some really pretty cards using the colors from the mood board and you can check it all out right HERE.  This challenge is open till Thursday, Sept. 18th @ 8:00PM.
