All Christmas cards and birthday cards are finished - hooray. The dining room table is just about clear!
Today I can show you two Christmas cards that have not gone to anyone who reads this blog:
Using my new colourfast crayons, I first tried these on white cardstock, particularly the snowman. However, it really doesn't show up well. I prefer the kraft cardstock, so although it meant really wearing down my whites, they do look better. I love both of these. The snowman is huge, about 13cm tall.
Depending on what colour his scarf was, dictated which colour the greeting was, as well as the intermediate cardstock. The robin was a mixture of blue hat and scarves but red greeting and cardstock (mainly as I was still experimenting at this stage).
Both when finished, were either overstamped to get the black outline to stand clear, or the line was overdrawn by hand with a super fine black nib.
They're lovely! Xx
ReplyDeleteThank you. I enjoyed doing them.
DeleteThey're lovely, both of them. I really need to find some motivation to do mine...sadly lacking in enthusiasm this year.
ReplyDeleteHad to drag my enthusiasm from the back of a deep, dark cupboard. It didn’t want to come out and play!
DeleteThey are both nice, but I absolutely love the robin card.
ReplyDeleteMe too!
DeleteReally lovely cards, thanks for showing them.
