A Bird, Christmas, and a Jumbo Tiger Lily

I'm going to finish up my posts that got left out while I was away. I have three today and then I'll be back to posting as I make my cards.

This card was for CAS305 on Splitcoaststampers. The challenge was to welcome the new year.
I almost never make new year's card and this is a bit different from the usual new year's card. I did add a star at the bottom for fireworks....hmmmm........

I colored with Copics, added a shadow, and some snow made with my DecoArt snow writer.

Accessories- DecoArt snow writer, Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics A & B-(B for sentiment die), Copics, Stamps by Judith/AA-02 Solid Star

 My next card is a Christmas card made for the January Christmas Fan Club Challenge/SCSCCJan15.

I colored  the image with my markers and then colored the trees in a bit with green, used my DecoArt snow writer for snow and added some glitter.

And, my last card is using a Jumbo Tiger Lily. It was made for Splitcoaststampers TLC518 challenge (try a new technique) and WT516-use beads.  The new technique was to stamp your image in white ink on white cardstock, then emboss and color. That was really fun and I'll probably do that again.

I did cut off the stem from my stamp because the image was too large for my 5 x 5 card if I used it.

I'm sorry for the long post but I'll be back to normal posting now. My next post will be a valentine.
