Two more Chrismas cards

I'm still on that mission to get Christmas cards done. Current count: 11 made, 17 to go.

This first one was made using this week's Mojo Monday Sketch #101.



I worked for hours to get an ornament to hang in the rectangle but couldn't get an ink to match that paper. In the end I scrapped the ornament idea and stamped Santa!



This next card was made for Sparkle's weekly Christmas card challenge. This week she used a sketch. I'm actually really happy with this monochromatic card. I may make another just like it since I have a couple of blue lovers on my card list.

Thanks to all you who gave me well wishes and offered prayers for my spilling the beans post. I am still on cloud nine. I had the blood work done today and am just waiting on a call from the doctor on the results.

Details: all CTMH unless noted

Santa Card:

Paper: green cs (stash) red pattern (stash) green pattern (stash) tan cs (stash)

Ink: Holiday Red

Stamp: Holiday Joy

Other: antique copper brads

White Christmas Card:

Paper: white cs (stash) Aspen Level II

Ink: Twilight

Stamp: Christmas Melodies

Other: corduroy brad, white ribbon (HL) scallop punch (SU!) adhesive pearls
