Ok, you know when you’ve really blown sending out Christmas cards when you have to send Happy New Years or Seasons Greetings cards. LOL
I figured I was so late that I should just start with a stamp and papers that I have had in my stash for a while and never got around to using. I got to use a super cute freebie digi from Pure Innocence, called “Merry Kissmas” that I have had in my stash for about a year (unfortunately I couldn’t find the link to this freebie anymore) and some pretty green gingham patterned paper that I’ve had in my stash for over 10 years! I had fun using up some scrap patterned papers, bits of seam binding and twine, and lacy ribbons too.
I colored up the image 3 times with the following Copic markers: Skin: E000, 00, 11, 21 and R30 (blush); Red clothes: RV25 and 29; Pink clothes: RV52 and 55; Grey clothes: C3, 5, and 7; Green clothes: YG13 and 25; Snowman: BG10 and 0; Hair and snowman arms: E74; Snowman nose: Y38; and Black coal buttons: 100 To add a little interest I used a White Sakura Gelly Roll Pen
Lastly, I used Tuxedo Black Momento Luxe ink to stamp out a simple “Season’s Greetings” from My Sentiments Exactly and used clear embossing powder to emboss the sentiment. This last bit I rushed so the stamping is not as clear as it should be, but it will have to do. I just can’t be even later with these cards!
The card in the top picture is being entered into the following challenges:

The pink bow and enamel hearts card is entered into the Simon Says Stamp Work it Wednesday Challenge
