Nativity card

If there is an image I like those are nativity scenes because they remind us the true meaning of Christmas.

 This one is from Stretch 'n Bubbles. I colored it with acuarelable pencils and added a little bit of glitter on the star. I cut out the image. The sentiment was a freebie at Meljen's blog and I colored it and used some glitter too.

I only used a blue dp with stars. This is the perfect background for the star and the scene itself. I used a golden ribbon and made a knot to tide up a couple of jingles and also I used a gloden thread (it looks like twine) to make a bow for the jingles.

Snowman with birds

As I promised yesterday, today I'm uploading two more cards...
One more card, one more snowman... they are so cool!!!!! I like to make cards with snowmen :)

This one is "Feed the birds" from Stretch 'n Bubbles (the store is closing on the 31st, so be fast if you want to buy digis... they have a great promo right now). I colored it with acuarelable pencils and added glitter in the snow part and some bling on the buttons.

I used only white cardstock and used two different embossing folders. Then I used a white ribbon (Home Sweet Home), a silver snowflake and more bling for the snow. I like how all the colors look on the white background.

A few more ATCs...

I like the idea of making small cards... and as I had  my printer with a technical problem (now solved!!!)

I was using some images I had already printed and didn´t use because they were a little bit small for normal size cards :)

I used images from Di's, Bugaboo, A day for daisies and Stretch n' bubbles, this time no owls, bears, a cupcake and a water can... I colored them with acuarelable pencils.

I sponged the sky for the first one here (I learn this in an online course I won in a challenge recently), with the rest I used scraps dp from my stash and cardstock...

As embellishment I used ribbon, made a bow, button and thread, green bling and a couple of cold porcelaine ladybugs.
