First Christmas

I took advantage of the 90 digi images offer from Dustin Pike earlier in the week - 90 black and white images for $10 - bargain! And they were all Christmas themed but some could be used for other occasions. The current Dustin Pike challenge is:

Animals Rule

And here is one of the images from the set but made into two cards. I decided that I haven't got any special baby Christmas cards yet, so here are two!

Both use the bear and gift image and I've coloured them with Promarkers. The gift bow has had the glossy accents treatment although its not shown too well on the photos. All the papers are from my scrap box and I've doodled silver lines and dots around the edges.

Fluffy silver string is from my stash along with the confetti snowflakes and stars. Sentiments have been computer generated. I've followed the Sweet Sketch Wednesday sketch as I was wondering how I'd add all the elements together for the cards!

My cards fit the following challenges:

World Play Weekend: Wild Animals
Stampin' For The Weekend: Paws For Thought (4 legs)
I Love Promarkers: Christmas In July
Sweet Stamps: Winter Blues

  • Images: Dustin Pike, coloured with Promarkers
  • Papers: All from my offcuts box
  • Sentiment: Computer generated
  • Everything else: My stash

    Nice! I saw that Dustin Pike sale, but I didn't need anything Christmas. You totally made the right choice because they really are versatile! Thanks for sharing!
