A Couple Quickie Thanksgiving Cards

 

I did this card using a Spellbinder's stamp set.  I used Copic markers to color the image.

 

 

I have had this image for quite a while.  I don't recall where I got it.  I colored the image with Copic markers.  The paper is from my stash.  I need to write where I pulled the image from when I print it.  I have over 25,000 digital images so finding one is by no means easy, unless I know that artist's work well. 

Pretty Papers

 

 

 

ll three of these cards were made with Stampin' Up Christmas papers from previous years.  I thought it was about time I started using them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Christmas 97 & 98

 

Here are cards 97 to 98 out of my goal of 100.  The top card is from Whimsy, I believe.  I still need to double check the manufacturer.  I colored it with pencils.  The next is a die set from Silhouette.  I am pretty pleased with how this one turned out. 

Four More Christmas Cards to Reach 100, WhooHoo!!!!

 

I got this B&W image on Etsy.  I colored it with Copic markers.  Something I didn't notice before I purchased and colored the image was that his left eye had, what looked like to me,  a metal eyeglass frame around his left eye.  There is no frame around his right eye.  I colored the frame in with a dark gray and fortunately you can hardly see the frame anymore.

This image is from Lily of the Valley.  It is colored with Copic markers and pencils for the smaller details.  Stickles were added to the snowflakes and tree ornament..

Mitten Mouse

 

I have had this image in my "to be colored" file for about two years.  I finally decided to do it today.  I still have not learned the lesson to pick my paper first, then colors.  Fortunately, I did have a purple Christmas paper.  It was the only one and it's by Stampin' Up.The image was colored with Copic markers.  I originally colored the bell silver.  The more I looked at it, the more I felt it needed something.  Coloring over the silver bell with golds did the trick!  Stickles were added to the pompoms. The image is by Mariola Budek and is available on Etsy.

This is #91 of my Christmas stash.  I was going to stop at 90, but hey, I absolutely love making Christmas cards!

 Logan

This card uses a Silhouette image and the paper is one I printed off.  I'm trying to find the manufacturer.  I have hundreds of designer digital paper packs I can print off.  Finding a particular one is difficult, especially when I printed them off years ago.  The Boo! id from Silhouette.

Christmas Pageant

 

 

I love this Christmas Pageant design.  It's by Lily of the Valley (digital).  I really prefer digital images to actual stamped images.  First of all they are so much easier to store.  Secondly, I don't make a mess with them.  I am dangerous with a stamp pad in my hand I could have ink all over my desk top.  The image is colored with Copic markers.    The paper is from Stampin' Up.

I have had this image forever.  It was in a file on my computer labeled Christmas Freebies.  I have no idea who the maker of this image was.  I colored him with Copic markers and used Stickles on his hat brim and the star. The paper is from Stampin' Up.  A nice simple card!

Big Love in Rose

 

The image I used is Big Love by Mariola Budek available on Etsy.  This is my rose version.  I have also done her in blue.  My husband and I differ on which we like the best.  I like the blue and he likes the rose version.  I used Copic markers and pencils to color this image.

 

Cute Christmas Tree Girl

 

 

I used an image from Mo''s digital Pencil for this cute little lass.  She is colored with Copic markers and pencils.  The paper is from Stampin' Up. I added minature gold beads for the garland.

 

Humorous Christmas Card Set

 

I found a set of these adorable pre-colored images called Quirky Delightful Reindeer on Etsy.  I also bought a set called Quirky Joyful Reindeer.  Both came with ten different pics.  Something fun for a change.

Mini Stash of Extra Christmas Cards

 

These are pre-colored images I used to make a few Christmas cards while my eyes were not so good.  The first image is from Jan's Digital Stamps.  Card #2 used an image from Mo's Digital Pencil.  I have no idea where I got the image for Card #3.  I think it was a freebie.  Card #4 uses an image from  Fred She Said.  I have complteted my goal to have two years worth of Christmas cards completed!  

Now back to birthday cards.

 

 

 This Christmas card uses an image by Mo's Digital Pencil.  I used a pre-colored image.  My printer doesn't work well and I thought the color looked pretty flat.I used my pencils to color and shade on top of the image.  It made quite a bit of difference.
