Hi there!
Welcome to the Pinkfresh Studio holiday cards blog hop! We promise you tons of Christmas card inspiration, and prizes to be won.
My first card features a pair of puppies and some mistletoe magic. I stamped the mirror imaged pups from Playful Animal Friends 2 in a very light brown ink and then used copic markers to add shading and dimension. I love how soft and cozy the images look like this!
I used a black pen to add in the eyes and the kissing noses, since they are under the mistletoe! The mistletoe sprig and sentiment are from December Days. I also used patterned paper from the collection of the same name (click HERE to see it.)
My second card used December Days and Forest Friends:
On the card base, I did some ink blending with different blues to give a striking night sky, and then heat-embossed the trees over-top. I added snow dots using a white gel pen.
The bird is nestled into a bunch of those same sprigs from the first card. I stamped them in different browns and used 1st and 2nd generation stamping techniques (so some sprigs are much lighter than others.)
To finish off, I added white nuvo "snow" drops onto the top layer.
I hope you like both cards! Hop along to the other designer blogs to see even more:
