Three Wise Men

Where I come from, we celebrate the Three Wise Men as well as Christmas.  Three Wise Men is celebrated in January 6.  As you know, the Three Wise Men brought gifts to Jesus when we was born in a manger.  So, we celebrated that day as well. Here's one of a few cards I did using the same digital image.

I used Tim Holtz distress ink again to crate the night sky:

Colors:

Tumbled Glass

Broken China

Black Soot

Ground: Vintage Photo

Copics Y15 and Y13 for stat

Around the edges of the card, I sponged some Broken China ink and then stamped Merry Christmas on the bottom.  Simple and to the point.

Baby Time and Special Girl

I made these cards for a relative who will soon have a baby girl and also for her little girl Aurora who is 4 1/2 yrs old!  I had fun making these cards.

This card came out so cute!!  I used a Frebbie png image from Patches of Pink and created the clouds on the background with the clouds dies from Memory Box and then cut out some of the clouds and put them on the card for dimension.  I colored the card with Copics.  Flowers are cutout from heart punch from Recollections and Sizzix.  Cardstock: Georgia pacific, Neenah 65lb and some other brand I can't remember!

 For this cards above and below I used distress ink from Tim Holtz to create the backgrounds.  Then I also used distress ink on the trees to give them a more aged look.  I cut out the snow lopes by hand.  I am pretty happy with them.  Love the Tim Holtz distress inks. 

 On this card below I wanted to create a window card.  I cut the window but a Spellbinders circle die.  I also cut another circle die for the inside background which I embossed with snowflake embossing folder by Darice and then also use Spellbinder circles to cut out the snowman shape.  I colored the snowman's hat (hand drawn and cut) with Copics R29, R22, R20) and also drew the eyes and buttons with copics.  I used a red ribbon for his scarf.  The tree I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink Moss Green and added embellishments. 

I made some hand cut and colored snow slopes with VersaMagic Sea Breeze Chalk ink.

Christmas is just around the corner... I've been working on some cards so I haven't had much time to post but here is a sneak peak at a couple of cards I've made.
