Happy Monday and start of the new week... I made these 2 very plain Christmas cards last night and thought I would share them with you. Please excuse the lack of embellishments, I just wanted to keep these Clean & Simple.
First is my new Sugar Nellie Santa from Funky Kits... he looks such a jolly fellow, doesn't he ?
Santa was coloured in with Copics. The Christmas paper is from W&M, which I got on Friday and couldn't wait to use!
Used some flocking around his coat and hat. The ribbon is a beautiful tartan, also new.
This is how I went about colouring him in...
I was very fortunate to receive this lovely LOTV stamp as a gift from a dear blogfriend, as she had received a duplicate and offered it to me... As I did not have it, I happily accepted this gift. Thanks so much Amelia.
Once again, I am using the lovely new Christmas paper from W&M. Hope you like this combination. My image was coloured in with Copics. I added some Rangers Stickles around the hat and pom poms, which you can hopefully pick up in the pic below. I just love this Nellie Snellen die too.
Well, that's my first 2 Christmas cards for this year. I see a lot of you are busy making yours, so I'd better get cracking then.
Thanks to those who have emailed wishing Kendall a speedy recovery. Now I'm also sitting with a scratchy throat and a sneezing nose... you just can't win, can you ? Am trying to doctor myself first with a few meds from the pharmacy... hope it helps.
Is it my imagination or are things a bit quiet in blogland these last few days ? Appreciate all the visits I get, thanks for popping by. Hugs Sharon

I really hope that you feel better soon. My daughter just got over a cold. Way too early for this stuff.
Yes,I have noticed it is a bit quite in blogland.What is up with that!LOL
Sharon, if you don't mind I was wondering once you have your colors layed down what do you use to blend them together.
Hello Sharon! I am trying to play catch-up and not really sure why I am so far behind??? Your Christmas cards are beautiful and I love that paper a lot!! Your coloring is wonderful! Hope your feeling better! xoxoxo
Hi, Sharon, I knew you would make a stunning card with that "Christmas Candle" LOTV stamp. Fantastic job!
