Holiday 2016 - Dogs and Cats

Hello Crafty Friends,

My sister-in-law mentioned the lack of dogs in my Halloween series, so I figured I better include some cards with dogs in this series.  Here's the first of several dog cards... and a cat card.

I used the same technique on both cards.   stamped the image onto watercolor paper, water colored around the stamped image with my Zig Watercolor Brush Pens using the same two colors.  The stamps are both by Inkadinkado.

These were super easy fun cards to make.



I'll be doing a GIVEAWAY at the end of the series, I will randomly pick one lucky person to win... here are the rules:

1.   Comment on EVERY posts.
2.   Become a follower of my blog.

Holiday 2016 - Penguin with Snowman Balloon

Happy Holiday Crafty Friends!

Since I LOVE penguins, I thought it would be fitting to start my Holiday Card Series with a penguin.

This cute penguin with snowman balloon is a digital stamp from JustMEdigitalstamps.  I created the tag by die cutting the Scalloped Banners die from Avery Elle and then die cutting the Storybook 1 die from Pretty Pink Posh in the center.  Added some pattern paper on the back panel of the tag, because I made it so it opens like a card by using a folded piece of white card stock and not die cutting the fold when I cut the scalloped shape.

On the card I used the same pattern paper twice... on the card's backgound and on the tags front.  This time I added a tiny circle tag with a "hi" greeting on the penguin's hand (penguins hands/wings are actually called flippers and are used to propel themselves through water.)

I hope you have enjoyed the first post of the series.  I'll be doing a GIVEAWAY at the end of the series, I will randomly pick one lucky person to win... here are the rules:
