Holiday cards for my blog day on Little Blue Button Stamps

I made a couple of holiday cards for my day on the blog.  They are both 5 X 7 cards and I started with white card stock bases.  I tried my hand at layering lots of different pieces of patterned paper.  I used a piece of green card stock from my stash that I adhered to the white card stock base.  I then took pieces of patterned paper from the Echo Park Reflections Christmas and added the strips to the bottom and top of the green card stock. I then took a piece of red card stock and adhered it to the top of the other papers.  I took a piece of packaging that was embossed with snowflakes on cardboard and inked it up with some blue Memento dew drop ink and then placed it on the left hand side of the card.  I colored up the adorable Ragdoll Sweetheart skating with my Copic markers. I also added White Opal liquid pearls to the fur on her outfit.   I will list the colors underneath the photo of the card.  I placed a piece of red lace across the top part of the card.  I adhered another strip of patterned paper on the bottom across the red card stock and then I added a piece of burlap ribbon.  I put a metal rhinestone piece on top of the ribbon along with a crochet flower.  I added rhinestone snowflakes randomly on the card.  

Copic colors:  
muffs, mittens, and scarfs = BG72 and colorless blender
coat and pants = R35 and R37
skin = Satin, dusty pink, and blush promarker
Hair = E11, E13 and E31
skates= Silver metallic Sharpie and 100 

The second card I made using the Waiting for Christmas image.  I used a white 5 X 7 card stock base.  I then used a piece of patterned green paper from DCWV for the bottom.  I added some red and black polka dot paper from Echo Park Reflections Christmas patterned paper.  I placed one piece on the top of the green paper and then I added a 4 X 6 piece of another polka dot paper.  I added a piece of green lined patterned paper in a strip down the left hand side of the card.  I  placed an addition piece of  the red and black polka dot paper to the top of the bottom part of the card.  I placed a silver applique piece on the right hand side of the polka dot strip with a metal piece on top of that.  I colored the image up with my Copics and will list the colors under the photo.  I used some red stickles on her shirt.  Thanks for looking.

Skin = Satin, dusty pink and blush Promarker
lips= RV10
shirt = R35 and R37
candy canes in her hair= Atiyou Spica pens
Hair = Y02, Y11 and Y04

My DT day on Little Blue Buttons stamp

I decided to create a couple of cards using the Eris catching snowflakes image.  I used white cardstock A2 size bases.  On the first card I added a piece of patterned striped paper from My Minds Eye.  I used a white cardstock piece that I cut with an SVG file on my Silhouette machine and stamped it with a Happy Holidays sentiment.  I colored the image with my Copics and will list the colors under the photo. I added a metal crown charm to Eris .  I then added the image to some red cardstock and adhered it to the left hand side of the card.



Coats=R35 and R29
skin= Dusty pink and blush Promaker
Hair= Y06 and Y04
Mittens and Eris friend= Cloud 9 grey Bic marker

The next card has green snowflake patterned paper from My Minds Eye.  I then used the same SVG file and stamped with the Happy Holiday sentiment stamp.  I used foam tape to adhere this to the bottom right hand side of the card.  I colored the image using the Copic markers listed above.  I added a metallic crown charm to the top of Eris head.  I then adhered the square to some red cardstock.  Thanks for looking.
