PASSION FOR MARKERS CHALLENGE #649: CHRISTMAS IN JULY

 

Good Morning crafters!

Our lovely Natalie has chosen your theme for this week:

CHRISTMAS IN JULY

Our sponsor this week is:

and they're offering 1 stamp set from those in stock to our lucky winner.

I've chosen to use one of the adorable Crissy Armstrong images from Whimsy Stamps for my card.  The image is called Christmas Kiss.

I have coloured the image with Copics, using the following colours:

Skin: E04; E11; E21; E00; E000; R20

Her Hair: E59; E57; E55; E53

Her Eyes: E57; E55; E53

Her Lips: E04; RV34; RV32

His Hair: E49; E47; E44; E43

Red: R89; R29; R27; R24; R22

White: C3; C2; C1; C0

Black: C9; C7; C5; C3

Green: YG67; YG63; YG61

Gold: Y28; Y26; Y23; Y21; Y13

The background was created using a My Favorite Things stencil and Distress Ink.

My papers are from the PhotoPlay Kringle & Co paper pack.  I've added a silver ribbon from my stash and made a little bow.

The sentiment is an Echo Park chipboard sticker; the baubles are Jolee's and the little glitter dot is Prima.

This is a great opportunity to get an early start on your Christmas cards.  If you need a few ideas, pop over to the challenge blog, to see what the rest of the team have created to inspire you this week.

PET LOVERS CHRISTMAS CARDS 2019 7 & 8

I'm popping these 2 cards on together, because they're virtually the same card.  They are the 7th and 8th in a series of Christmas cards I am making for pet lovers.  I try to keep this series of cards as simple and low cost as possible, and I try to get the pets to look as similar to those the recipients' love as possible.

These two cards are going to two families with kitties missing a leg.  Blue kitty is missing his left front leg, and pink kitty is missing her right back leg.  For pink kitty I just had to flip the image because only one of the back legs are showing anyway.  For blue kitty I had to erase the missing leg and draw in the lines to take up the space.

I've used one of an adorable trio from Whimsy Stamps, called Meowy Kitty-mas, and coloured the images with markers.

My papers and sentiments are from the A Whisper of Winter paper pack by The Paper Boutique.  The wreaths are Festv craft stickers and the enamel dots are Echo Park.

Thanks for popping in for a look today!
