Christmas Critters...

Today's limited supply challenge on SCS was to make a card with Christmas critters...well, DRS Designs has plenty of those! I went right to work on this one...



I love this little juggler...he has a couple of friends too, a Santa and a snowman! Stay tuned, you'll see them again soon!!! After coloring my little reindeer, I stamped him again on a scrap and then used a small size hole punch to punch out the ornaments and color them. I then adhered them with pop dots! The snowflake swirls on the side of the kraft layer were stamped with versamark ink. A simple card...some ribbon (the only embellishment we were allowed to use) finished it off!

Here is my second card...another cold climate friend!!



I stamped the image in black on white first in dye ink and then again on a scrap with craft ink and then heat embossed. I cut him out and adhered him with pop dots as I wanted him to stand out! I paper pieced his scarf and skates with the same shimmer paper that I used as an accent. I love this wide white ribbon by Offray. The background was stamped with versamark ink. I thought it needed a little something more so I scored two lines on the bottom with my scor-pal. A relatively simple card that could be even simpler if you color the scarf and skates! Who says holiday cards have to have a holiday theme!!!

Thanks for stopping by today...
See you soon...
