I finally got my hands on the Birdie Brown Jingle All the Way stamp set - I've been pining for it since early this year when I first snooped around the MFT website. :D It is so fun to color, which is my new interest now. I have to change things up now and then to get my mojo going.
I made this card yesterday based on the MFT Card Challenge colors and sketch over at CAS Colours & Sketch blog.
I colored the Santa and tree using PrismaColor Pencils. The white panel is cut using MFT's DoubleStitched Rectangle die and I sponged PTI Soft Stone ink over my Tim Holtz Fair Isle stencil in the area behind the cute little images. The back panel is After Midnight cardstock with the Sketched Chevron background stamped in After Midnight ink and then die cut using Blueprints 13. I added a few dark red glittery enamel dots by My Mind's Eye.
My next card is Paper Smooches fun. I used the Tiny Hearts die to make this cute little wreath.
I die cut all three size hearts multiple times in two different green colors and a few in the red. I stamped the sentiment using the PS Christmas Sampler and die cut the panel using MFT Blueprints 13.
I'm playing along with this week's SPARKS Anything Goes challenge and Freshly Made Sketches.
I think that's it for me today! I'll save my other Christmas projects to share with another post. Thanks SO much for stopping by to visit! Please do so again soon. I love to have visitors, comments, and followers! :)
God Bless and have a wonderful week,

So impressed with the wonderful things you are making - you have so much talent and I think you are an excellent colorist!!! Have a wonderful day!!!
ReplyDeleteThat Santa image is darling! I like the subtle visual texture in the navy panel, and how the double stitched outline on the focal panel coordinates with the single stitched outline on the navy panel. Great attention to detail there! :) Thanks so much for sharing this card with us at CC&S!
ReplyDeleteYour wreath card is terrific, too. I love the idea of forming the wreath from the tiny hearts!
Gorgeous cards! I see we've both used the same Santa set for the CAS colours challenge :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for joining us this week at CC&S. What a fun, comic Santa stamp! Beautifully coloured and a great interpretation of the sketch too. Stef x
ReplyDeleteBoth your Santa Baby and wreath cards are fantastic, Mandy! Gosh, it's too bad you didn't save that wreath a couple of days ~ it would be so perfect for the CASology "heart" challenge! Your design is brilliant!! Hugs, Darnell
