December Swap

The theme is Red and Green

This must be the first time I have used free stamps from a magazine on the day I received them!  I thought this sentiment was perfect for the swap.

I had decided to use my Neocolours to colour the backgrounds on these cards.  I cut the paper to size and then coloured it with random strokes.  I sprayed some water and then put the cards to one side to dry.  I stamped the bows on a separate piece of paper, coloured them in with the red crayon and then fussy cut them.  I stamped the sentiment onto the dried cards and then added the bows.

Once the whole card had dried, I edged the card with a scarlet sharpie pen to finish.

I have received these cards, the last of all the December 2017 swaps. 
  

Tiny gold flecks add the the beauty.
Thank you Helen P.

Love the 3D effect.

Thank you Jill B.

My sort of ATC!  This one will be added to my decor.

Thank you Sheila C (also thanks for the pretty envelope).

Sad to see another year finished with but looking forward to 2018 colours, themes, and all the creations.
