Merry Turtle

I'm using 2 stamps today in my project along with a couple of die cuts from MFT.

I stamped the turtle on a subtle graph type paper, then colored him with colored pencils.

I then stamped the hat of the reindeer on red paper and colored the fur part with a white pencil.

After that I added some white flocking and colored the bell with my glitter gel pen adding the center with a black gel pen.

I cut the dies and added some acetate and foam tape to section off the image.

I then added some Christmas theme glitters I have.

I added a piece of the tan burlap print to cover the tree backing so it didn't show white through the glitter.

Here it is, lots of dimension with foam tape.

I think he's pretty cute!

The hat looks like it was made for him!

You can find the reindeer and turtle in the shop

Christmas in July with Marji

For today's card I am using a physical stamp! lol, I seriously need to ink my stamps more!

They were my first love and I've neglected them for digital images.

This cutie is simply called Reindeer.

I stamped him on kraft brown paper and used pencils to color his antlers and inner ears.

I used my gel pens for his eyes and nose so they have some shine.

I stamped him a second time and cut just his hands and feet, honestly, I did this twice, I colored his hooves black but decided I liked the simpler look for him.

I then cut the bunny from some of the paper I used for the background quilt so he's got a gift to give.

 After I cut 2 inch blocks from 3 different papers, I pieced them onto a piece of card front then ran it through my big shot with this cute embossing folder.

 What do you think? Sweet?
