We have a fun new ABC Christmas Challenge starting today...I'm the host, and the themes are:
'J is for Jingle Bells'
&
'K is for Kraft'
The prize for the lucky winner is these Woodware stamp sets:
For my 'J is for Jingle Bells' card. I used an unbranded bell stamp...heat embossing it using metallic gold embossing powder from WOW on plain black card. I added a sentiment using a stamp from the 'Scribbly Christmas' set by Tim Holtz for Stampers Anonymous, heat embossing it in gold to match, then used one of my circle Nesties to cut it out. For the background, I heat embossed a 'Holly Background' stamp from Kirtsy Wiseman using more gold embossing powder on black card. I matted that onto some gold mirror card, added it to a white card blank then popped the 'Jingle Bells' on top.
For my 'K is for Kraft' card, I picked one of the bears from the 'Beary Merry Christmas' set by Funky Fossil, and stamped it directly on to a kraft card blank, along with one of the sentiments from the set, then coloured it using watercolour pencils.

What a lovely pair of cards, Helen. The first looks so stylish with the gold on the black card, and the second one is so sweet, and I love how you coloured him.
