Watercolor Peace & Joy Christmas Card
Here is a watercolor and embossed Christmas card in silver with non traditional colors for the holidays.
Front sentiment: Wishing you peace and joy this holiday season.
Inside sentiment: Good tidings and cheer.
I wanted the look of ribbon or streamers in watercolor. The vellum piece softens the look.

Gold Embossed Deer Christmas Card
For this Christmas card, the majestic deer needed to shine in gold.
Sentiment: Merry Christmas
The front was heat embossed in gold with added sequins. Traditional red poinsettias and green leaves decorate the background. It has been years since I've torn vellum to accent cards, but it seems to have made a comeback. I like the way the twine looks with it.

Holiday Penguin Family
Here is a penguin family holiday greeting card.
I used the colors of red, black, green and white in this.
Front sentiment: From our family to yours!
Inside sentiment: May this season bring peace & joy for all!
I followed the My Creative Time Inspired Sketch Challenge in their Facebook group.
This little penguin family is a favorite of mine. The trim was stamped with tiny candy canes for a chalkboard look.
To me, the card and sketch resemble a postage envelope.
Supplies: My Creative Time stamps and dies from A Day In December, Get Schooled, From Our Family to Yours, Stitched Rectangles Frame Dies & More, Stitched Squares Inside & Out dies; BasicGrey paper and sequins.
Have a great day.

Penguin Window Holiday Card
Here is another holiday card with a little penguin in the window.
I think this will bring a smile at Christmas.
Front sentiment: Don't get your tinsel in a tangle.
Inside sentiment: This is as MERRY as we get.
This one features penguin and sentiment stamps that came free with a recent Unity order.
Gotta love the ever flowing Unity generosity.

Holiday Candy Jar in Watercolor
This is the first holiday card by me this year.
Hopefully the first of many.
One of the things I enjoy receiving in the mail at Christmas are cards and photos from family and friends. I especially like the the surprise of seeing a personal touch, the hand written note, a handmade card or tag.
