I made a couple early Christmas cards for some challenges, and now I think I'll make a few more to get a jump on the holiday rush! First up is Cocoa's Christmas Tree by Sweet'nSassy Stamps. This card was made for the Crazy4Cocoa challenge C4C5 over on the SNS connection. Cocoa was colored with Copics and I used a scrap of DP I've had for ages. The ef is by Sizzix and I just used a piece of pretty ribbon to finish this simple design.
This card was made as a sample card for the Christmas in July challenge over at the stars and stamps blog here. This image is SNSS Cocoa's ornament, simply colored with Copics and matted on some BG dp. Another quick and easy card finished. This one will mail with one stamp because it's flat, and that works for me! I love to add ribbon and embellishments, but they all add up to extra postage, so this year I'll be trying to make basic, flat cards for the most part.I'll have another challenge card to post later on today, so stay tuned........
