Christmas texture

I titled this post "Christmas texture" because I went for it! I used no foam tape because the seed beads and flat sequins as snow, the gold jingle bells, and the googly eyes add enough texture and dimension. I am going to give this card to my mom, so it won't be going through the mail, thank goodness.

My card also has lots of sparkle with Wink of Stella in clear on the snowman's hat, in gold on Santa's hat, and in red for the reindeer's nose. This card has a lot going on in such a simple scene!

Festive alpaca

I have two sisters. Both knit. So, anytime I hear alpaca, I think wool. And I think them. This card is for the sister who seems to dig shaker cards. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. The Fuse tool sure does make shaker cards easy. :)

The alpaca is so adorable! I colored him gray because I thought it would look nice with the purple, and I added some white stripes to his scarf using a white gel pen.

Knitting sheep

This card is for one of my sisters. She is a big time knitter, and I just knew that I had to use Lawn Fawn's Baaah Humbug stamp set for her card. I stuck with traditional Christmas colors and really like how my card turned out.

The next photos show all the sparkle that I added to my card. I used clear Wink of Stella on the string of lights and the Santa hat, and I used a glitter pen to add little dots to the packages and the bow.
