Same, same but different Christmas cards

 Hi there.  Today I'm sharing a set of Christmas cards that are the same design, but with different colours and colouring mediums.

Card 1

For this one I used dark green for the base and layering.  I stamped the Pohutukawa (a Montarga stamp) with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used Copic markers to colour it up. The top of the flowers is gold Kindyglitz glitter glue. The sentiment is "Merry Christmas" in Māori (by Craft Creations)

Card 2

Same design this time in red.   This time stamped with Memento Bamboo Leaves and coloured with lighter colours - Altenew's Woodless Watercolour pencils.  The gold on the tips is a gold Sharpie. 

Card 3

This time inked with Memento Grey Flannel.  I chose darker colours of the Woodless Watercolour pencils.  I used a silver Sharpie to make the layer.  And the base in a lovely royal blue colour.  

A great design suitable for multiple stamping.   I'm sure I'll be doing more of this one. 

WWC201 - Marsha's Special Two-Week Year End "Anything Goes"

the

Hello there, it’s time for another Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.  Marsha  is our hostess this challenge with a Special Two Week Year End "Anything Goes"

My card is a New Year card... 

I started by stamping my cityscape along the bottom third of the card.  The stamp is from Craft Creations and is the Auckland skyline.  I did have to stamp it twice to fit along.  I then used a variety of Altenew inks (Desert Night, Sapphire, Starlight and Jet black) to sponge my night sky.  I used some Distress Oxide ink ( Broken China and Evergreen Bough) to make the sea.  I used a Hero Arts stamp set (Happy New Year Stamp and Cut) to emboss the sentiment (Altenew Rose Gold powder) and the fireworks was embossed with Stampendous Aged Scarlet embossing enamel.  I finished with some stars using a white gel pen.

Come join in the fun - anything goes. Check out the projects that the artists at Watercooler Wednesday Challenges have created then take the challenge and link your creation to the challenge post. We’d love to have you join us.
