More Wonderful Christmas Wishes

48 days and 2 hours 59 minutes until Christmas
and time for a new challenge with us on the
As always, the challenge is Anything Goes.

~~~*~~~*~~~

The sponsors for this challenge are:


Cute As A Button


~~~*~~~*~~~

Today I have used the Reindeer Ears Costume digital stamp from Cute As A Button, one of our generous sponsors for this challenge, to make a pair of Christmas cards.  Don't know if it's just me, but the round panel card reminds me of a snowglobe, the other card looks like a Christmas polaroid for a family Christmas card.



I opened the image in Silhouette Studio and designed my cards with the aid of some sketches (details and links HERE & HERE).  The images are 3 1/2" high, the completed cards 5" x 7".

This post is all about this card.


I printed the image on X-Press It blending card, heat set then coloured with Copic markers.



I used a nesting circle to die cut the image panel down to size.  I printed and cut the sentiment panel and matting circles with my Cameo then manually cut the card base.


You can read all about the other card HERE or by clicking on the photo below

As You Like It Challenge - Favourite Papers and why
While I love pretty patterned papers, I confess that I collect them faster than I use them.  My style varies between CAS and fussy & fancy, so when making CAS cards, like today, I like to use plain paper / cardstock to keep the background "clear", just filled with colour.
