Christmas Cats and Dogs for Bunny Zoe's Crafts

Hello and good morning everyone! Today I have two fun Christmas cards to show you. Both made with stamps from High Hopes. The first one is Christmas Cats Block.

The papers I used here is a non typical Christmas design. But it fits perfect for this occasion too. It is from Kaisercraft 'Porcelain Rose'. Here I also used some red web ribbon and some white lace. Below you can see a close up of this sweet image.

The second card I show you is made with 'Dog Trio Block'. For this card I also used papers from Kaisercraft, from the 'Silly Season' pad. Here I also used some red web ribbon and few Flat Back Pearls for embellishing.

Both images are colored with Copics. And on both I also used a sentiment stamp from High Hopes 'Magic of Christmas'.

 

I hope I were able to inspire you to create some Christmas cards. I know there is still some time, but you never can start making them too early as we know how fast the time flies while that time.

All those items I used for my cards are available at Bunny Zoe's Crafts.

 

Have a wonderful day now.
Hugs, Karina

Deep Ocean Challenge - Goodbye Summer

Hi everyone, hope you're doing fine. Today we have a new challenge for you at Deep Ocean Challenges. This forthnight we want to see your take to the theme

GOODBYE SUMMER

This means to me the end of summer, the beginning of a colder season. So I thought using  Northern Nightfall by ching-chou kuik's, available at Sweet Pea Stamps, would be perfect. I love this image and I had to make it in cool colors to fit the theme. I colored this beauty with Copics and I love how she turned out. I added some Frantage around her and onto the snowflakes as well. This image is available as single image in Rubber, and together with three other gorgeous images on Plate # 249. And she also is available as Digi.

Below you can see a close up of the image...

And some more close ups...
