Hello there. It;s been a busy week, but I am here with a couple of cards for the new challenge starting at ABC Christmas Challenge. We always have themes for our letters, and this time they are:

J is for Just Enough (CAS)

&

K is for Knitwear

Here are my cards:

For my first card, I chose a Polkadoodles stamp set, and stamped directly onto the white card base, then coloured with pencils. I find Copics show through on the revers side, and I wanted this card to be one layer, no additional elements, to keep it very purely CAS.

My second card took a little more time. My first step was to stamp the Lawn Fawn critters, then colour them with Copics, before die cutting them out. The sweaters were also stamped, coloured, then die cut, and attached to the critters. The edges of the sweaters I also added some Lawn Fawn Prisma glitter for a little more sparkle.

All of these stamps came from the same stamp set – ‘Ugly & Bright’.

The background is some patterned paper from Heffy Doodle.

I used the Waffle Flower postage collage die, then a couple of the Waffle Flower Christmas postage collage stencils – picking which images were going where after placing my critters – then ink blending , adding more glitter to some of the elements, before stamping and die cutting the small bubble sentiments.

I hope you can come and join us with your Christmas creations following one or both of our Christmas themes. xx
