Here's a Christmas card I haven't had time to share. This is a one-layer card made with a Penny Black stamp called Christmas Arrangement. I coloured the image with my Copics before masking the edges of the card and ink blending the rectange with Distress Oxide inks (Old Paper and Antique Linen). The sentiment is in Finnish and says 'Christmas Greetings'.
It is still Christmas time, isn't it? So that I can share some Christmas cards that I didn't have time to share before Christmas. Here's a card I made with Vault Christmas Magic die set by Sizzix / Tim Holtz. I inked the background to create a snowy night sky and adhered the die cut pieces onto it. Santa and his sleigh is adhered with foam adhesives as are some of the trees for some dimension. The sentiment says 'Merry Christmas'.

I made a set of Christmas cards with a Sizzix/Tim Holtz die set Festive Garlands. They all have the same layout, the same inked background (Distress Oxide inks in Bundled Sage and Iced Spruce with few splatters of gold ink), the same sentiment (Finnish for 'Christmas Peace') and the same die cut bow (die cut with Vault Festive Wreath die by Sizzix/Tim Holtz). The only thing that changes between them is the die cut elements. I also added a bit of Distress Glitter in Rock Candy here and Nuvo Glitter Pen there. Very quick and easy to make!
I think I'm falling in love with diecutting! I had so much fun making this card and adding all the little details, it's so different from colouring in a stamped image. The die set I used for this is by Sizzix and Tim Holtz and it's called Vault Festive Wreath. I die cut the pieces out of either white cardstock or coloured cardstock and added a bit of colour to them with Distress Oxide inks. I also splattered a bit of white acrylic paint to the wreath itself and added shimmer and glitter to the elements with Nuvo Glitter pen and Distress Rock Candy Glitter. The sentiment says 'Christmas Greetings' in Finnish. I also used some white half pearls to embellish the card.
