Merry Christmas

Hello,

I am still working on my Christmas cards:

• stamp the tree and the pot from Lawn Fawn Trim the Tree on watercolor paper and color the images with Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors and add pearlized water
• stamp the trimmings from the same stamp set with Versamark directly onto the tree and heat-emboss with WOW! Silver Bells embossing powder
• punch out a star and cover it with three layers of that same embossing powder
• add paint splatters in green and red to the background panel cut from watercolor paper
• adhere the tree, the pot and the star to the background panel with foam tape and add a swirl of silver thread underneath
• stamp the sentiment from Lawn Fawn Joy to the Woods on a strip of watercolor paper with Versafine Onyx Black and heat-emboss with WOW! Black Twinkle embossing powder
• add Stickles (Christmas Red) to the rim of the pot and faux stitching with a Distress Marker (Festive Berries) around the sentiment strip
• mat the panel on a piece of Distress Cardstock (Peeled Paint)
• adhere some sequins to the tree as final embellishments (Pretty Pink Posh 4mm Sparkling Clear, Neat & Tangled Winter Wonderland Sequin Mix)

I would like to join the following challenges:

52 Christmas Card Throwdown Challenge - Color Challenge

AAA Cards Challenge - Play with Watercolors

Inkspirational Challenge #69 - Shine

Moving along with the Times Challenge - Sparkle and/or Shine

Muse Challenge #93

Have a sparkly day.

Yours,
Tanja

Wherever you go Sparkle

Hello,

today, I have a somewhat different (no reds) Santa Claus card for you:

• stamp the cute little Santa from My Favorite Things Jingle all the Way on white cardstock with Versafine Onyx Black and color the image with Lyra Rembrandt Polycolor Pencils, Zest-it, a silver gelpen, Liquid Applique (White) and Wink of Stella Clear Glitter
• cut a tag from watercolor paper, create an ombre background with Distress Inks (Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, Peacock Feathers) and add faux stitching with a silver gelpen
• add ribbon and a twine bow to the hole of the tag
• use kraft cardstock as a background panel and stamp the first part of the sentiment from My Favorite Things You were meant to Sparkle with Versamark and heat-emboss with WOW! Seafoam White Super Fine embossing powder
• cut the second part of the sentiment from Elizabeth Craft Designs Shimmer Sheetz Gemstone Sampler Pack
• add three banner-shaped strips of patterened paper from the BoBunny Candy Cane Lane 6x6 paper pad 
• and the perfect final embellishments are Pretty Pink Posh 4mm Sparkling Clear Sequins

Here is a close-up of the sweet Santa:
