Billie has chosen a Christmas theme for our last challenge of the year here at Cardz 4 Galz. I actually made 3 cards almost the same except for colours. I used a Christmas background stamp from YNS and heat set it with Verdigris on vellum. After cutting the panel down a little I added the sparkly strip to ground the penguin image. He is from a new set, on sale, by Crafters Companion. Once stamped I also heat set the image so I could colour without worrying about it spreading in places I didn’t want. Watercolour pencils were used. When it was dry, I fussy cut the image and used a black pen around the edges. After adding foam tape he was attached to the vellum piece, which in turn was attached to the shimmer card front. The sentiment is from the same set. The other 2 cards are the same except one is blue and one is gold.

When this set and another similar one arrived, I was surprised at the size of the image stamps. I was expecting them to be smaller. There were no matching dies that I could see, unfortunately. I do like the fonts used for the sentiments.

Thanks for spending time with me today. We look forward to seeing your creations in our gallery. Above all, have fun in your crafting space and enjoy the Christmas season.
