Wrapped In Love

I'm back to a card inspired by one of the recent summits.  This one is hand drawn and then watercoloured.  As someone whose drawing consists of stick figures I'm really proud of this.  After colouring the gifts, I outlined them with a Black Pigment Liner.

Colouring is with Tansai Gambi Watercolour Paints.   The image design comes from a tutorial by Laurel Beard from the Stress Free Cardmakers Summit.  The sentiment is also from Laurel Beard.

Merry Christmas

I posted a card yesterday that had the centre die-cut out of it.  This is what I came up with for the die-cut.  In the summit, Jess had left the images uncoloured but I decided to use the lightest pink, green and yellow copic markers on the images that I chose to use.

We are up to Day 21 at Beccy's Place Month of Holiday Cards.  Today's prompt is S.

Most of the images and sentiments that I used for today's card are now retired (the exception is the one on the message panel).

This is another summit card similar to the one yesterday.  I flipped over one of the patterned pieces to use the reverse side as a background for the image.  This one is inspired by a tutorial by Jess at the Cardmaker's Success Summit.  The original intention on yesterday's card was to have the reverse of this one - except I glued the wrong side of the cross pieces.  I left this one until today and took more care with it.

Gnome

It is just about time for bed for me but I thought I'd upload another of the summit cards that I have completed. 

I still have a lot of Summit Cards in various stages of completion.  I am going to try and work a bit faster and get more uploaded soon.

This card was inspired by the tutorial by Jess Crafts at the Cardmaker Christmas Summit.

 This is the second card that I have made from the Scrapbooking Fun Summit that I "attended" earlier this month (it was a virtual summit)

Christmas Cards All Year Round - Reindeer
https://christmascardsallyearround.blogspot.com/2024/11/november-challenge-reindeer-deer-or.html

The background was created using washi tape.  I diecut out the centre and added a reindeer image by Beccy's Place.  The sentiment is also by Beccy's Place.

I intend to create another card using the die-cut piece from the centre but not entirely sure what I am doing as yet.
