All of my Christmas cards finished at last - hoorah! To speed up the process, I basically stuck to the same layout, one stamp set and one paper collection. It just took out the extra thinking out so I could just focus on putting the elements together. So here they all are...
Paper/cardstock: Bazzill cardstock, Echo Park Everybody Loves Christmas paper collection
Stamps: Whimsie Doodles Christmas Greeings digi stamp set and Snowman Cocoa, Pink Petticoat digi sentiments, CC Designs sentiments inside cards
Mediums: Copic markers, Promarkers
Accents: ribbon from stash, Dew Drops
You can rest assured that I will not be showing any more Christmas cards for a long, long, long time!!!
I'm entering these cards into the following challenges:
- That's Krafty Thursday - colouring
- Passion for Promarkers - mega Christmas anything goes
- Fab 'n' Funky - quick and easy does it (each card took about 10 mins to do)

Gorgeous cards, Mary J. I love the images and the papers are so pretty. And of course your coloring is flabulous, as always!
When watercoloring with distress inks, I use Versafine (onyx black or black onyx, forget which it's called) to stamp my images and allow it to completely dry. (Since I'm such a slow card-maker, I normally stamp my images and then it's a couple of days before I get around to coloring them). If you don't have Versafine, try heat-setting the Memento with your heat-embossing tool before you w/c...I've heard that helps. I can't wait to see your w/c projects!
what a collection they are all so gorgeous. love them all you always amaze me how you do each one decorated on the inside. it makes the so extra special.
YOU are the Christmas card QUEEN; hands down!!!!!
Ohhh my so many FUN cards!!
You have been busy! Love all of these, great images and really fresh papers too. I've only got 6 more to do but they are family ones so no postage to worry about, but groan, like you it's going to be a while before I make any more :-)
