Hello friends...
I've a couple of Christmas cards to share that I made recently. Seeing as the challenge at Stamplorations is to use a stencil, I'm sharing the two that do include a stencil (Lavinia)
I drew the holly, painted it and then fussy cut it to layer over the stenciling
And my second card
Sans the washi tape but with some gold splatters on the stenciling
I'm not sure which one I prefer... I'll share some more in my next post.
Stay well and stay safe... Even though it's compulsory to wear masks in shops now, there are so many people here who just will not comply, makes me so mad.
Till soon

Two beautiful looks with your hand drawn holly leaves Ros and such pretty gold berries, and love the gold sentiment and some lovely soft stencilling in the background, and also the super strip of washi (I'm assuming that is what it is) framed with the embossed lines on the first, so elegant. x
ReplyDeleteTwo Gorgeous CAS stenciled Christmas cards, Ros. I Love your soft stenciled backgrounds and beautiful hand drawn and watercolored holly leaves and gold heat embossed sentiments. TFS and so pleased you joined us at STAMPlorations Stencil Challenge. Did you use an ARTplorations stencil? Love and Hugs...and Happy Holidays. Nancy
ReplyDeleteLove these Ros....just so beautiful. I like the one with the washi tape best I think and the stenciling is just right for that background interest..clever you! xx
ReplyDeleteBoth really lovely, Ros - love that sage-y grey green you've used for your beautiful Holly - and that stencil was a wonderful choice!

These are both just BEAUTIFUL my friend! If I HAD to choose, I think I'd choose the 1st one. I like the coordinating strip under your hand drawn holly ... ties together SO WELL! Beautifully done over the stenciling!
ReplyDeleteYES, we have idiots here in USA too that will NOT comply and put all the rest of us at risk! Grrrrr!
Beautiful cards, Ros! Lovely holly and stenciled background! Either one with or without the holly. Both are very pretty!
ReplyDeletebeautiful Ros love the soft colours and the wonderfully hand drawn holly leave ♥
ReplyDeleteTwo lovely Holly cards Ros, I do love them both .. Robyn
ReplyDeleteLOVE both of these Ros! The green in your stenciling and the Holly leaves is one of my favorites right now, and I'm loving your gold berries too! Also love the washi tape strip on the 1st card!! Lovely, lovely cards my friend!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are so very pretty and I like the subtle stencilling in the background Ros. We have been lucky in Scotland that mask wearing continued but I agree with you about non-compliance x.
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty holly, Ros! Your depth of color gives them wonderful dimension and the soft stenciling in the background gives them even more depth! Pretty Washi tape too! We have the same problem with masks here. I just keep mine on and give them a wide berth!
ReplyDeleteLuckily we can do most shopping on line & pick up curbside. The majority of people follow the mask mandate here, but there are always a few who think they're above it. Honestly, as my t-shirt says: Dogs make me happy, humans make my head hurt.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, holly is another image I especially love & yours is wonderful! I do love your style, Ros!
Beautiful cards Ros. I love the soft colour of the stenciled background. So perfect with the gray green holly leaves. Love both cards! xx
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, these are wonderful! Your soft stenciling is such a beautiful backdrop for your lovely holly leaves. I really like the first one with the washi tape border, very festive, and the scripty sentiment, love the font! Beautiful cards Ros!
ReplyDeleteI love your hand drawn holly Ros and such beautiful shades of green and your berries blend in perfectly. What softness you have with your stenciled background. Such beauty! Thanks so much for sharing with us for our Stencil Challenge at STAMPlorations.
ReplyDeleteUuuhhhh... lovely! The stencilling is the perfect backgound, subtle yet making a statement.
