Yes I know what you are going to say in that Christmas has been and gone but I decided to start making Christmas cards throughout the year more this year. The Sweet Pea Stamps image by Charity Dauenhauer that I have used is called "Silent Night". It is available as a digital stamp.

I have coloured the image in with my Graph'it pens. I used a circle die and cut a circle out of a sticky note, stuck it behind the fairy and the wolf and then used my blue Pan Pastel to colour in the background. I find this so much easier than using a distress ink as I haven't got very strong hands.
I do like traditional red and green for Christmas so I have kept to this colour scheme. I have tried to keep the card as flat as possible as well as I doubt they'll be a change in the cost of postage in 2014 for the better so it's "pancake Christmas cards" again!!! I have used some backing papers that I got off a friend for Christmas. I have finished the card off with a tissue paper flower, pearls, ribbon, holly die-cut, glitter scrolls and a sentiment that came in the paper/decoupage paper pack.
I am entering this card into the following challenges:

What a beautiful image colored wonderfully! I do the same thing...Christmas cards throughout the year so I have them ready by Thanksgiving. Our challenge at The Paper Shelter is: PUNCHES AND DIES. The card needs to have both on it. Your card is wonderful but will be entered in the drawing only if it meets the challenge criteria. This is a gorgeous card and I wish you good luck in your challenges! Hugs, Gail DT
