Hello again,
I'm enjoying a couple of much cooler days after a week long heat wave 33C+, my poor budgies are all fluffed up trying to keep warm (14C) and have started moulting... while running back-up on my computer this morning I decided to make another Christmas card for my stash. This one is number 8 for the year...
This card is a total scrap/snippet job I stamped the dog onto a snippet of white card stock and heat embossed in black powder before scribbling with watercolour pencils on another scrap of card and painting them onto the image. I die cut the sentiment from a scrap of silver paper and on the photo the Christmas looks a little lost against the background, not so bad IRL. The holly and berries were cut from some more scraps from Doodlebug papers.. the green leaves are from a different paper pad there are flowers on the back....

I have also made one birthday card using my distress oxide inks smooshing them on my gelli plate, spritzing with water, heat drying before moving on to the next colour. I then using the same colours to paint the heat embossed butterfly adding a tiny drop of water so the colours are brighter inside the stamped image.

Two super creation, great use of the snippets papers and a really cute image. A really lovely background and great images, look really good stamped in the white.
Daughter spent the day on the beach for Australia Day, said it was really lovely and warm.

Loving your scrappy Christmas card Megan - way to go to use up those left over bits that are not really big enough to do a lot with. That image is fun.
Your butterfly card is gorgeous - love the soft colours you have used
Stay safe
Blessings

The birthday card is lovely. You've inspired me to get out my gelli plate because the background you created with it is incredible. I like how you incorporated the background colors onto (into) the heat embossed image. Thanks for joining us at Happy Little Stampers ~ Watercolour Challenge.
