CAS(E) this Sketch #248

I am having fun playing in challenges as I make my Christmas cards. 

For this card I took inspiration from this week's CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge #248.

I've been dieing to ink up this cutie angel.  I kept with the sketch by masking to make her wand glow using sponging and painter's tape.  Added a little shine with sequins.

Less Is More Challenge #356 - LET IT SHINE

As I make my Christmas cards, I am playing in Challenges for inspiration. 

My inspiration for this card comes from this week's

Less Is More Challenge #356

The theme is LET IT SHINE.  I used the same paper for my Rudolph and background so the focus was more on the shine of his nose, I used a glittered enamel dot (it shines more IRL). I love all the things you can do with this paint splatter stamp.  I chose to use it to ground my image and as background for my sentiment.  I am playing with Your Next Stamp goodies and the links are below, just click on each photo.

 I chose to play with the sketch and rotated it 90 degrees to the left.

I cased MY CARD I made for this month's release preview post.  I went for a softer look by using the no-line coloring technique on my Santa, using a soft gray for the toy shop, and using a paper from YNS' Summer Plaid.  You'll find links to all the YNS products I used below.

Rainbow Christmas

I made a non-traditional Christmas card for three challenges.

Did you notice what two colors are missing? 

 No Green or Red

How many rainbow Christmas cards on a black base have you seen? Exactly.

This is for this week's Clean And Simple Challenge on Splitcoaststampers: Is it Christmas?

I love this fun sentiment from Merry & Bright set by A Jillian Vance Design.
