You probably are getting tired of seeing Christmas cards from me and surely I'm running out of ideas. I still have a few to make so please.. bear with me. I seek inspiration from challenges that are going on at the moment. Less is more is having a colour theme: Blue and Green. That is the base for today's cards. Here they are:
 |
| Stamps used: Snowflake Grove Decorated Tree and Happy Holidays - Scripty. |
 |
| Stamps used: Holly and Happy Holidays - Scripty |
If you are familiar with my blog and visited me yesterday, you probably recognise the design on the first one. Yesterday I entered a similar card to CTS, the color theme yesterday was pink. I really liked how the card turned out to be so I replicated it, I just used a different tree stamp for it. My colouring could be better, but you know, holiday cards are made in bulk so I really didn't have the time to use for more detailed colouring this time. Funny thing though is that I kinda had an issue with green stars... Then I figured, if I don't have a problem a tree being blue... surely I can't have a problem with a green star, can I?
On the second I wanted to use the mouse that I had had for about a year now. I think he is really cute but he has never made into a card. One problem with him was that he is quite hard to cut out and before I had copics, I usually cut everything out. I like how he is coloured but I kinda regret inking the blue snowflakes on the back.. and seriously, I'm so running out of ideas. LOL!
I will enter these into followering challenges:

ReplyDeleteMarika, this is just adorable! That little mouse is so cute! The layout is perfect too! Thank you for joining us at The Paper Players this week! XX
ReplyDeleteBeautiful classy and so perfectly stamped and coloured.
ReplyDeleteI think the 2nd one would fit best at Less is More but only because it shows masses of 'white' space which we adore BUT they are both stunning. thanks for sharing.

I don't think I'd ever tire of seeing your lovely holiday cards, Marika. Love the blue tree card and how you spotlighted the sentiment tag by placing it in a negative space with simple black stamping.
ReplyDeleteThese are just fantastic, Marika. Love that tree image and the mouse is just adorable. Looking at your fabulous cards I don't think you'll ever run out of ideas!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with us.

Marika, I so enjoy seeing your lovely cards that I can't think of a reason that I would ever tire of Christmas cards, or any of your cards... bring them on!! Love both of your beautiful cards. That little mouse is soooo adorable - and I like the blue spatter in the background :)
ReplyDeleteYou can do as many Christmas cards and post them as you like, I ADORE your creations! The tree card is beautiful but I LOVED the pink version even more! That little mouse with the big ears is so sweet, and your blue splatter background is just fab!
ReplyDeleteThat mouse is so darling, Marika. I don't know how you get so many cards done when you spend so much time coloring them so beautifully. People are probably waiting in line to get on your Christmas mailing lists so they can have one of your works of art.
ReplyDeleteI never tire of Christmas cards, especially when they are this fabulous!
ReplyDeleteGah, so very clever and beautiful :-)
ReplyDeleteThese two blue themed cards are very pretty Marika and the mouse is so cute. x
ReplyDeleteYour blue version of trees is just as gorgeous as the pink. And I love that adorable mouse. You do such amazing coloring!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous. I don't care what theme you do, I will never get tired of seeing your cards. They are always so beautiful, and I dream of one day being that good. ^_^ I thank you for ever post. ♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteCould never get tired of seeing Christmas cards fom you. There is always so much inspiration and I love the wonderful ideas you have. Two more perfect wonderful cards.
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding? You're running out of ideas? Well it certainly doesn't show. Have to laugh when you say your coloring on the trees isn't up to your standards...because that coloring is awesome...green stars and all. The that sweet little Holly...just love this card...I like the blue dots, it's precious, fun and festive.
ReplyDeleteLovelies !!
ReplyDeleteTwo fabulous Christmas cards Marika - I love that adorable mouse!
