Hi Everyone, It's been a busy week first we had the blog hop for Come and Get It now onto another one for Holly Jolly. The theme again is Christmas as usual at Holly Jolly but this time it is Anything goes. We have some great sponsors and some lovely prizes available to be won. go and check it out. Not only that but we are also welcoming our New Design Team Members Anne, Carol, Linda and Joey. Welcome aboard ladies. Oh and that isn't all, come back on the 18th of the month for some more great inspiration too.
For my first card I have used an Image from Digi Stamps 4 Joy called Christmas Robin. As you can tell I am a bird lover at heart, so any images with birds on them I just adore. So I had to have this one LOL. I used water colors to color him then fussy cut him out. He is on a Garden Green panel embossed with a holly leaves embossing folder, and then put onto the beaded circle die cut, with the rhinestones. I then used a back panel of Always Artichoke that was embossed with the same folder. I've added the piece of silver glimmer paper, for some interest and sparkle. and used Ridinghood taffetta ribbon.
Thanks for looking.
My Second card is a Saturated Canary Image- Noelcarols for Stamp and Create. I have colored her with Promarkers, then cut her out and layered her on top of another image, so that I still had the music notes in the background. I've used retired paper behind her as well as Real Red card stock embossed with swirls. the jingle bells are a die cut from Memory Box, which I've cut out of champagne glimmer paper. The ribbon and bow are old olive taffeta ribbon, then I've added some color dots in real red to the top of the card.
Thanks for looking
Cindy
Well that's it for my cards for this part of the hop I hope you've enjoyed them and look forward to seeing you on the 18th. But before you go the letter from my blog is the first letter of the the persons name on the next stop. Now you will continue onto Anne's blog.
