Christmas Cards

 Getting reacquainted with my Christmas crafty stash has seen me making a few seasonal cards.  Each year as Christmas makes start to appear online there are always new items to add to the stash and although I do try not to add too much, there's always something or other which tempts me.  I was drawn to a couple of digi stamps which became available recently and for this card I've used a cute reindeer image which came as a pre-coloured version and an outline image as well.  I resized the outline image and coloured it using alcohol pens with the addition of a little coloured pencil work for shading.  Some snowflake and other papers were used and I simply added a small sentiment and a die cut snowflake from my useful oddments pot.  Together with some cards left over from last year and the ones I've been making, the collection is growing nicely.


Digi Image - from Craft Addiction UK, designed and drawn by Louise Dunne
Colouring - Copic pens and Coloursoft pencils
Snowflake Paper - printed from a Buddly Crafts download collection
Other Papers - from my Snippets collection
Sentiment - from a printed sheet which I've had for many years, source forgotten
White snowflake - die from Crafter's Companion (quite a few years old)
